Genus- and family-group names in the order Embioptera (Insecta) Author Miller, Kelly B. text Zootaxa 2009 2055 1 34 journal article 41224 10.5281/zenodo.186678 0388bec2-2fe9-41cc-8541-9080a6eb58cd 1175-5326 186678 Anisembiidae Davis 1940 , homonymy and authorship. Ross (1940b) and Davis (1940c) proposed the name Anisembiidae at the family rank the same year based on the same type genus, Anisembia Krauss 1911 . The date on Ross (1940b) is “December, 1940” whereas the date on Davis (1940c) is “Read 27th November , 1940.” A note by Ross (1944:434) reads, “Davis's 15-day prior use of the name Anisembiidae (1940e) [sic] was due to an unexpectedly earlier mailing date of his publication.” Nevertheless, because of this, Anisembiidae Davis, 1940 c has priority. In some recent cases, however, (e.g. Ross 2003b ) Anisembiidae is recognized at the family rank attributed to Davis (1940c) but at the subfamily rank attributed to Ross (Ross 1940b) . According to the Principle of Coordination described in Article 36.1, Anisembiidae Davis 1940 c has priority over Anisembiidae Ross 1940 b at all family-group ranks and Anisembiidae Ross 1940 b is a junior homonym of Anisembiidae Davis 1940 c (and likewise Anisembiinae Ross 1940b is a junior homonym of Anisembiidae Davis 1940 c).
