The genus <i>Limulus</i> Müller, 1785 was used by Leach (1819, p. 536) as the basis of a new family Limulidae and synonymized it with <i>Polyphemus</i> Lamarck, 1801 (Lamarck's proposed but later unaccepted replacement for <i>Limulus</i>, as discussed by Van der Hoeven, 1838, p. 8) and <i>Xyphotheca</i> Gronovius, 1764 (later changed to <i>Xiphosura</i> Gronovius, 1764, another junior synonym of <i>Limulus</i>). He also included the valid modern genus <i>Tachypleus</i> Leach, 1819 in the family. The primary authority of Leach (1819) is widely recognized in the neontological literature (e.g., Dunlop et al., 2012; Smith et al., 2017). It is also the authority recognized in the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS Editorial Board, 2021).","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Correcting a 135-year error: Limulidae Leach, 1819 (Chelicerata, Xiphosura) is the proper authority, not Limulidae Zittel, 1885","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-05 01:31:24.675588","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2021,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-07-12","DateCreate":"2021-07-12","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000659532900015","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1017/jpa.2021.23"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":340013,"PubliDate":2021,"Pagination":"886-887","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"95","Issue":"4","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43247,"SerRR":"Journal of Paleontology.
