A statistical method for the evaluation of the probable amount of interlopers included in the most recently identified asteroid families is developed. ... An application to the most important families listed by Zappal\`a \etal\ {\bf [1995, Icarus in press]} allows to derive the probable amount of interlopers at different size ranges. ... The procedure developed in this paper allows to assess ``how many'' interlopers are probably included in the nominal member lists, but not ``which ones''. ...
