Remarks. Fraser (1941b) founded Symplectaneidae for Symplectanea bracteata , a presumed new genus and species of hydroid described by him from Stephens Passage, Alaska. Symplectanea Fraser, 1941b was referred to the synonymy of Monocoryne Broch, 1910 by Rees (1957b), a genus included by him in Myriothelidae Hincks, 1868 . Symplectaneidae thereupon became a junior synonym of Myriothelidae .

Although the family name Myriothelidae predates Candelabridae Stechow, 1921a , the latter name has come into prevailing usage for the taxon because its type genus, Candelabrum de Blainville, 1830, predates its subjective synonym, Myriothela M. Sars, 1850, type genus of Myriothelidae . In the interests of nomenclatural stability, Schuchert (2006) urged adoption of Candelabridae over its senior synonym Myriothelidae , a nomenclatural act permissible under Art. 40.2 of the ICZN provided certain circumstances are met. Under Recommendation 40A of the Code, the currently accepted name, with its author and date, may be cited as Candelabridae Stechow, 1921a (1868) , indicating precedence over Myriothelidae Hincks, 1868 and subsequently published synonyms. In turn, Symplectaneidae is a junior synonym of both Candelabridae and Myriothelidae . When elevated to the rank of family, the subfamily name Monocoryninae Rees, 1956 is also a junior synonym of Candelabridae .
