Tribe LIPARETRINI Burmeister, 1855

Original spelling and citation: Liparetridae Burmeister 1855: 187

Type genus: Liparetrus Guérin-Méneville, 1831: 3

Synonym: Haplonychini Burmeister, 1855

Original spelling and citation: Haplonychidae Burmeister 1855: 224

Type genus: Haplonycha Dejean, 1836: 179

Remark: The original spelling of the type genus is Aplonycha but Agassiz (1847: 29) made the unjustified emendation to Haplonycha . Since this unjustified emendation is in prevailing usage, it should be considered a justified emendation (Article 33.2.3.1). Britton (1986) commented that this generic name was not made available from where it first appeared in text (in Dejean 1833). Although this is correct, Britton overlooked the next edition ( Dejean 1836) of the Dejean catalogue, which does properly validate this name. Haplonycha Dejean, 1836 is currently considered to be a junior synonym of Colpochila Erichson, 1843 .
