C. O. Waterhouse, 1876. Comment: unavailable family-group name, proposed after 1930 without description or bibliographic reference to such description (Art. 13.1); this name was used several times subsequently, e.g., Elgueta and Arriagada (1989: 37), Lawrence and Britton (1991: 665), Lawrence (1994: 339), but this taxon name remains unavailable (see Lawrence and Newton 1995: 892).
