Subfamily Corticariinae Curtis, 1829

Corticaridae Curtis, 1829: pl. 283 [stem: Corticari-]. Type genus: Corticaria Marsham, 1802. Comment: incorrect original stem formation, not in prevailing usage; although this is the oldest name for the family, an application was recently submitted by Bousquet et al. (2010) to conserve usage of the well-established name Latridiidae (see Appendix 6).

*Melanophthalmidae Arnett, 1962b: 835 [stem: Melanophthalm-]. Type genus: Melanophthalma Motschulsky, 1866. Comment: family-group name unavailable (Art. 11.6): originally published as synonym and not made available subsequently; name listed by Arnett as a synonym of Latridiidae and attributed to “auct.”, we could find an earlier usage of this name.
