Family Helotidae Chapuis, 1876

Helotides Chapuis, 1876: 15 [stem: Helot-]. Type genus: Helota W. S. MacLeay, 1825. Comment: published before 1 May 1876; original vernacular name available (Art. 11.7.2): used in latinized form by several authors subsequently, generally accepted as in Lawrence and Newton (1995: 875, as " Helotidae Reitter, 1876/Chapuis, 1876"); this family-group name was also used in the same year by Reitter (1876a [before 15 August]: 5, as Helotidae ); this is a junior homonym of Helotidae Adams et al., 1854 (type genus Helotes Cuvier, 1829) in Pisces, this case is to be referred to the Commission to remove the homonymy (Art. 55.3.1).
