Tribe ATHYREINI Howden and Martínez, 1963

Original spelling and citation: Athyreini Howden and Martínez 1963: 346

Type genus: Athyreus MacLeay, 1819: 123

Remark: Athyréites Blanchard 1845: 221 was not Latinized and was not subsequently Latinized until the tribe was formally described by Howden and Martínez (1963). Since Blanchard, 1845 has never been considered the author and date for this taxon, Article 11.7.2 does not apply and this family-group name should continue to be credited to Howden and Martínez, 1963. From the context of Blanchard (1845), all his ‘‘Famille’’ and ‘‘Groupe’’ names with the ‘‘–ides’’ and ‘‘– ites’’ suffixes respectively are French vernacular names (some have accents).
