Title

Case 3860 – Stygnidae Handlirsch, 1906 (Arthropoda, Insecta, order incertae sedis): proposed emendation of spelling to Stygneidae to remove homonymy with Stygnidae Simon, 1879 (Arthropoda, Arachnida, Opiliones)

Abstract

The purpose of this application, under Article 55.3.1 of the Code, is to remove the homonymy between the family-group name Stygnidae Handlirsch, 1906 (Arthropoda: Insecta: order incertae sedis) and the family-group name Stygnidae Simon, 1879 (Arthropoda: Arachnida: Opiliones). It is proposed that the stem of the generic name Stygne Handlirsch, 1906 be emended to Stygne- to give Stygneidae, while leaving the harvestmen family-group name Stygnidae, which is based on the genus Stygnus Perty, 1833, unaltered.
