Subfamily Solieriinae Newton and Thayer, 1992

Fisognatitos Solier, 1849: 303 [stem: Physognath-]. Type genus: Physognathus Solier, 1849 [preoccupied genus name, not Physognathus Agassiz, 1846 [Reptilia]; syn. of Solierius Bernhauer, 1921]. Comment: original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form and generally accepted as in Kraatz (1859b: 3, as Physognathites [treated as Latin]); permanently invalid (Art. 39): based on preoccupied type genus.

Solieriinae Newton and Thayer, 1992: 27 [stem: Solieri-]. Type genus: Solierius Bernhauer, 1921. Comment: replacement name for Physognathinae Solier, 1849 because of the homonymy of the type genus.
