Nomenclature OPINION 2032 (Case 3148)
CLARIIDAE Kutikova, Markevich & Spiridonov, 1990 (Rotifera): spelling emended to CLARIAIDAE so removing homonymy with CLARIIDAE Bonaparte, 1846 (Osteichthyes, Siluriformes)

The Commission has ruled that the homonymy between the family-group names CLARIIDAE Kutikova, Markevich & Spiridonov, 1990 (Rotifera) and CLARIIDAE Bonaparte, 1846 (Osteichthyes) is removed by emending the spelling of the rotifer family-group name by adopting the full genus name as the stem, giving the corresponding family-group name CLARIAIDAE Kutikova, Markevich & Spiridonov, 1990. The fish name CLARIIDAE Bonaparte, 1846 remains unchanged. [details]
