Tribe Byrsopini Germar, 1829

Cryptopsides Schönherr, 1826: 65 [stem: Cryptop-]. Type genus: Cryptops Schönherr, 1823 [preoccupied genus name, not Cryptops Leach, 1814 [Chilopoda]; syn. of Byrsops Germar, 1829]. Comment: permanently invalid (Art. 39): based on preoccupied type genus.

Byrsoptides Germar, 1829: 358 [stem: Byrsop-]. Type genus: Byrsops Germar, 1829. Comment: incorrect original stem formation, not in prevailing usage.

Byrsopsides Schönherr, 1833: 14 [stem: Byrsop-]. Type genus: Byrsops Schönherr, 1833 [preoccupied genus name, not Byrsops Germar, 1829 [ Coleoptera : Curculionidae : Byrsopini ]; syn. of Byrsops Germar, 1829]. Comment: permanently invalid (Art. 39): based on preoccupied type genus.

Brotheinae G. A. K. Marshall, 1907: 89 [stem: Brothe-]. Type genus: Brotheus Stephens, 1829. Comment: junior homonym of Brotheini Simon, 1879 in Scorpiones (type genus Brotheas C. L. Koch, 1837); this case is to be referred to the Commission to remove the homonymy (Art. 55.3.1).

Brotheusini Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal, 2006: 24 [stem: Brotheus-]. Type genus: Brotheus Stephens, 1829. Comment: unnecessary replacement name for Brotheinae Marshall, 1907 because of the homonymy of the family-group name; Brotheinae /-ini/-ina Simon, 1879 (type genus Brotheas C. L. Koch, 1837) has been used as valid in Scorpiones in recent literature, e.g., Prendini and W. C. Wheeler (2005); the stem used by Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (2006) was chosen in accordance with Art. 29.6.
