Tribe Ripiphorini Gemminger, 1870 (1855)

*Mioditini A. Costa, 1853: 2 [stem: Myodit-]. Type genus: Myodites Latreille, 1829 [syn. of Ripiphorus Bosc, 1791]. Comment: original vernacular name unavailable (Art. 11.7.2): subsequently used in latinized form but not generally treated as valid attributed to A. Costa, 1853; incorrect original stem formation, not in prevailing usage.

Myoditini Gerstaecker, 1855: 15 [stem: Myodit-]. Type genus: Myodites Latreille, 1829 [syn. of Ripiphorus Bosc, 1791]. Comment: usage of younger name Ripiphorini Gemminger, 1870 conserved over this name (Art. 40.2) (see Lawrence and Newton 1995: 889, as " Myoditini Costa, 1853").

Rhipidophoridae Gemminger, 1870: 2117 [stem: Ripiphor-]. Type genus: Ripiphorus Bosc, 1791 [as Rhipidophorus , unjustified emendation of type genus name by Perty (1831: xix), not in prevailing usage]. Comment: name conserved over the older Myoditini Gerstaecker, 1855 (Art. 40.2) (see Lawrence and Newton 1995: 889, as " Myoditini Costa, 1853"); incorrect original stem formation, not in prevailing usage; as mentioned by Lawrence and Newton (1995: 889) a number of authors used Ripiphoridae before Gemminger, however, their family-group names were based on Ripiphorus sensu Fabricius, 1792, which is a synonym of Metoecus Dejean, 1834; spelling of family-group and type genus names based on Krell (1996); we recommend that an application be submitted to the Commission to suppress Ripiphorites Laporte, 1840 for the Principles of Priority and Homonymy (Art. 65.2.1).
