Names and sources

Accepted Name Source
Porocephalidae Sambon, 1922
  • AFD
Published in:Poore, G.C.B. 2012, "taxonomic decision" (Shipley (1909) remarked in a footnote “The animals included in this group [Pentastomida] are usually called Linguatulidae or Pentastomidae …”. Pentastomatidae, correctly spelled, could be appropriated as a family name for this group since its type genus <i>Polystoma </i>(<i>Pentastoma</i>) is a junior synonym of <i>Porocephalus</i>. However, ICZN Article 35.5 allows for a family-group name in prevailing usage not to be displaced by an older name within the same subjective family. Pentastomidae seems never to have been adopted as a family name. )
