I also note that there is a counter-view to the solution suggested by
Herbert and Bouchet in 2011 (Case 3555), i.e. changing the mollusc family
to Chilodontaidae to remove the homonymy, namely that of Geiger, 2011
(Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 68(4):281-300 (2011).
https://doi.org/10.21805/bzn.v68i4.a5) who favours reverting the fish
family spelling to its original "Chilodidae", and keeping the mollusc
family unchanged...
