Comment: published before 29 June 1857; original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): first used in latinized form by Holmgren (1899: 199, as Melanactidae ), generally accepted as in Stibick (1979: 164, as Melanactinae ); this family-group name was also proposed in the same year by Lacordaire (1857 [before 25 May]: 144, as Melanactides ) (see Bibliographic notes in Introduction).
