Family
Chaetosomatidae Crowson, 1952
Chaetosomatidae
Crowson, 1952: 66 [stem: Chaetosomat-]. Type genus:
Chaetosoma
Westwood, 1851 [this genus is a junior homonym of
Chaetosoma
Chevrolat, 1843 in
Cerambycidae
;
Chaetosoma
Chevrolat, 1843 is also a senior objective synonym of the well-established name
Apodasya
Pascoe, 1863]. Comment: this name is a junior homonym of
Chaetosomatidae
Claus, 1872 (type genus
Chaetosoma
Claparede
, 1863, which is a junior homonym of
Chaetosoma
Westwood, 1851) in Nematoda; the nematode family-group name is permanently invalid (Art. 39) because it is based on a junior homonym, the valid name for this nematode family is
Draconematidae
Filipjev, 1918; furthermore, the type genus of
Chaetosomatidae
Crowson is a junior homonym of
Chaetosoma
Chevrolat, 1843 in
Cerambycidae
; an application was recently submitted by Bousquet and Bouchard (2010) to suppress
Chaetosoma
Chevrolat, 1843 for the Principles of Priority and Homonymy and
Chaetosomatidae
Claus, 1872 for the Principle of Priority, therefore conserving the names
Chaetosomatidae
Crowson and
Chaetosoma
Westwood (see Appendix 6).
