The family Ironidae comprising 8 marine and 1 freshwater genera is revised and keys to genera and species are presented. Diagnoses of all genera are specified and new combinations established in the most poorly defined genera - Dolicholaimus, Syringolaimus, Thalassironus and Trissonchulus. Short descriptions for mostof the valid species are provided based on literature and original data. Five new (Dolicholaimus filipjev, D. minor, Syringolaimus marisalbae and Ironella riemanni) or poorly known (D. major)species are described. A new diagnosis of Ironidae is presented instead of the one suggested by Andrassy.
