Abstract

The International Code on Zoological Nomenclature demands changes in the use of certain family-group names. Stenotrachelidae Thomson, 1859, is senior to Cephaloidae LeConte, 1862. Within Cholevidae, Leptodirinae Lacordaire, 1854 (1849), is senior to Bathysciinae Horn, 1880, and within Curculionidae, Erirhininae Schönherr, 1825, to Notarinae Zumpt, 1929. In Chrysomelidae: Cryptocephalinae, the invalid name Monachini Chapuis, 1874, is replaced with Monachulini Leng,1920,and in Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae, the invalid name Sermylini Chapuis, 1875, with Hylaspini Chapuis, 1875.
