and Mixtacandonini Karanovic & Lee, 2012

There has been some nomenclatural confusion about the genera Mixtacandona Klie, 1938 and Trapezicandona Schornikov, 1969 and the names of tribes derived from those two genera. The generic name Mixtacandona was proposed conditionally – but with a clear diagnosis – by Klie (1938 b) for Candona laisi Klie, 1938 , and therefore has priority over Trapezicandona Schornikov, 1969 ( Namiotko & Danielopol 2002). However, according to Article 40.1 of the ICZN, the validity of family-group names, to which tribe names belong, is not affected by the synonymy of type genera. Herein we synonymize the two tribes and conclude that Trapezicandonini Karanovic, 2007 has priority over Mixtacandonini Karanovic & Lee, 2012.
