Name

edit

Spondylidinae Audinet-Serville, 1832

NOTE: The ICZN-compliant (but invalid) spelling is "Spondylinae"; ICZN Article 29.3.1.1 applies very explicitly: "If the stem so formed ends in -id, those letters may be elided before adding the family-group suffixes. If, however, the unelided form is in prevailing usage, that spelling is to be maintained, whether or not it is the original spelling. Example. The family-group names HALIOTIDAE and HALIOTOIDEA are not changed to HALIOTIDIDAE and HALIOTIDOIDEA, even though the stem of Haliotis is Haliotid-, as the latter spellings are not in prevailing usage." The stem formed from Spondylis is indeed "Spondylid-", but the unelided form was demonstrably not in prevailing usage when Art. 23.9.1.1 came into effect (it was first used, as "Spondylidini", in 2011[1]), and therefore Spondylinae would ordinarily need to be maintained. However, that family-rank name, spelled that way, is a junior homonym of Spondylidae Gray, 1826; as such, the spelling "Spondylidinae" is valid, though the authorship should probably be attributed to Bouchard et al., 2011, as they were the first to use this spelling, and it should be treated as a replacement name for the homonym rather than an emended spelling (as the Code did not require emendation).
