Anisembiidae Davis 1940 View in CoL , homonymy and authorship.

Ross (1940b) and Davis (1940c) proposed the name Anisembiidae at the family rank the same year based on the same type genus, Anisembia Krauss 1911 . The date on Ross (1940b) is “December, 1940” whereas the date on Davis (1940c) is “Read 27th November, 1940.” A note by Ross (1944:434) reads, “Davis's 15-day prior use of the name Anisembiidae (1940e) [sic] was due to an unexpectedly earlier mailing date of his publication.” Nevertheless, because of this, Anisembiidae Davis, 1940 c has priority. In some recent cases, however, (e.g. Ross 2003b) Anisembiidae is recognized at the family rank attributed to Davis (1940c) but at the subfamily rank attributed to Ross (Ross 1940b). According to the Principle of Coordination described in Article 36.1, Anisembiidae Davis 1940 c has priority over Anisembiidae Ross 1940 b at all family-group ranks and Anisembiidae Ross 1940 b is a junior homonym of Anisembiidae Davis 1940 c (and likewise Anisembiinae Ross 1940b is a junior homonym of Anisembiidae Davis 1940 c).
