Taxacom: Formation of family name in zoology, based on genus ending -ops

Mon Feb 6 02:05:14 CST 2023

Everyone seems to have forgotten that 29.1 allows the suffix to be added to the ENTIRE genus name. (The reference to Article 29.6 actually is irrelevant since it is only in Recommendation 29A that use of the entire name as the stem (a formulation that is problematic in itself) is suggested as a way to avoid confusion between names.)

So, it seems that both spellings are Code compliant and correct - priority should therefore be decisive.

Dear Tony,
This follows Code Arts. 29.1 and 29.3.

29.1. Formation of family-group names. A family-group name is formed by
adding to the stem of the name [Art. 29.3] of the type genus, or to the
entire name of the type genus [see Article 29.6], a suffix as specified
in Article 29.2.

29.3.1. If a generic name is or ends in a Greek or Latin word, or ends
in a Greek or Latin suffix, the stem for the purposes of the Code is
found by deleting the case ending of the appropriate genitive singular.

Gorgonops Owen, 1876
genitive should be Gorgonopis, stem Gorgonop-

So Gorgonopidae Lydekker, 1890 would be proporly formed under Art. 29.3.1.

Other examples
Merops Linnaeus, 1758 - Meropidae
Mormoops Leach, 1821 - Mormoopidae
Selenops Latreille, 1819 - Selenopidae

If this helps
Francisco
