Cantharidae Imhoff, 1856: [2] 69 [stem: Canthar-]. Type genus: Cantharis Linnaeus, 1758. Comment: this family-group name was used by many authors prior to Imhoff’s usage, these were based on a the misidentified type genus Cantharis (syn. of Lytta Fabricius, 1775) and are therefore not used as valid for this group (see Lawrence and Newton 1995:860); this case should be referred to the Commission to suppress any use of Cantharidae prior to Imhoff (1856); usage of the younger name Cantharidae Imhoff, 1856 over Telephoridae Leach, 1815 is conserved (Art. 40.2) (see Lawrence and Newton 1995: 860).
