Platystomoidea
Pierce, 1916: 463, in key [stem: Platystom-]. Type genus:
Platystomos
Schneider, 1791. Comment: the type genus for this family-group name was in fact proposed as a replacement name for
Anthribus
sensu Fabricius, 1790, however it was never used in that sense subsequently (Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal 1999: 33); an application will be submitted by MAAZ and CHCL to conserve the current concept of
Platystomos
Schneider, 1791 and its associated family-group name.
