Family Hygrobiidae Regimbart, 1879 (1837)

Pelobiinae Erichson, 1837: 182 [stem: Paelobi-]. Type genus: Paelobius Schönherr, 1808 [as Pelobius , unjustified emendation of type genus name by Erichson (1832: 45); syn. of Hygrobia Latreille, 1804]. Comment: use of younger family-group name Hygrobiidae Régimbart, 1879 conserved (Art. 40.2) (see Lawrence and Newton 1995: 808); incorrect original stem formation, not in prevailing usage.

Hygrobiinae Régimbart, 1879: 449 [stem: Hygrobi-]. Type genus: Hygrobia Latreille, 1804 [the original spelling of the type genus, Hygriobia , has been corrected to Hygrobia and Hygrobia Latreille, 1804 placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1954)]. Comment: use of this name conserved over the older name Paelobiidae Erichson, 1837 (Art. 40.2) (see Lawrence and Newton 1995: 808).
