Catalogue of family-group names in Cerambycidae (Coleoptera)
Summary (1 min read)
Introduction
- Along with species- and genus-group names, family-group names form an integral part of zoological nomenclature.
- The specific objectives of this paper are first to provide a complete list of family-group names proposed in the family Cerambycidae (as far as known to us) and second to assess the availability of all names using rules of the Code of Zoological Nomenclature consistently.
- A family-group name proposed prior to 1931 needs only to be a scientific name (e.g., with a Latin termination) in the nominative plural formed from the stem of an available genus-group name used as valid in the new family-group taxon.
- Because only the year is known for both Thomson’s and Fairmaire’s contributions, they must be considered as published the last day of the year (Article 21.3.2).
Subfamily Anoplodermatinae Guérin-Méneville, 1840
- 276 [incorrect original stem], also known as Anoplodermiens Guérin-Méneville, 1840.
- Anoploderma Guérin-Méneville, 1840 [stem = Anoplodermat-], also known as Type genus.
- Tribe Anoplodermatini Guérin-Méneville, 1840 Anoplodermiens Guérin-Méneville, 1840: 276 [incorrect original stem].
- Hypocephalus Desmarest, 1832 [stem = Hypocephal-], also known as Type genus.
Subfamily Spondylidinae Audinet-Serville, 1832
- 123 [incorrect original stem], also known as Spondylii Audinet-Serville, 1832.
- This name is unavailable under Article 11.7.2 (not subsequently latinized and attributed to Fairmaire 1864).
- Michthisoma heterodoxus LeConte, 1850 by monotypy, also known as Type species.
Acknowledgments
- The authors thank Anthony Davies, Andrew Smith, Karl Adlbauer, and Miguel A. Alonso-Zarazaga for reviewing a first draft of this paper and providing valuable comments.
- Miguel corrected many stems of generic names that the authors would otherwise have incorrectly cited.
- The authors also acknowledge the cooperation of Robert Vigneault who repeatedly checked some issues in books not available to us.
Index
- Family-group names accepted as valid in this work are listed in uppercase letters.
- Original spellings of familygroup names are in lowercase letters.

...Although fuscumol is an aggregation pheromone for some species in the subfamily Aseminae ⁄ Spondylidinae, we did not trap any beetles of that subfamily in Texas, Indiana, or Illinois, even though one species of Tetropium and other asemine ⁄ spondylidine genera have been recorded from these regions (volumes indexed in Linsley & Chemsak, 1997)....

...However, the activity of fuscumol for species in this subfamily may be strongly synergized by volatile terpenoids produced by host plants (which were not included in our trap lures), as shown for Tetropium species (Silk et al., 2007; Sweeney et al., 2010)....
