Thamnasteriidae

Reuss, 1864, p. 23

Thamnasteriidae Reuss, 1864, p. 23 is a unavailable name.

Remarks

Reuss (1864, p. 23) created the group-name Thamnastraeidae. Later, Felix (1914, p. 46) mentioned it in the corrected spelling, referring to it as the "Subfamily Thamnasteriinae Reuss". Fairly recently, Loeser (1994, p. 64), started using this group-name in the rank of Family Thamnasteriidae Reuss, 1864. However, Reuss (1864, p. 24) based this group-name on the genus Thamnastraea Milne Edwards and Haime. Because Milne Edwards and Haime never created a genus named Thamnastraea (the genus Thamnastraea was created by Lesauvage, 1821), the group-name Thamnastraeidae Reuss, 1864, is invalid.
