Family Kateretidae Kirby, 1837

Catheretidae Kirby, 1837: 107 [stem: Kateret-]. Type genus: Kateretes Herbst, 1793 [as Catheretes , incorrect subsequent spelling of type genus name, not in prevailing usage; Kateretes Herbst, 1793 placed on Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1999b)]. Comment: incorrect original stem formation, not in prevailing usage; Kateretidae chosen as correct spelling of the family-group name, given precedence over Brachypteridae Erichson, 1845 and placed on Official List of Family-Group Names in Zoology (ICZN 1999b, as Kateretidae Erichson in Agassiz, 1846); discovery of the older available name proposed by Kirby (1837) removes priority problems with Brachypterinae .

Brachypterinae Erichson, 1845: 125 [stem: Brachypter-]. Type genus: Brachypterus Kugelann, 1794 [placed on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology (ICZN 1999b)]. Comment: placed on Official List of Family-Group Names in Zoology (ICZN 1999b).
