Abstract:

This application proposes removal of the homonymy between the family- group names Plutoniinae Bollman, 1893 (centipedes) and Plutoniinae Cockerell, 1893 (slugs), which are respectively derived from the generic names Plutonium Cavanna, 1881 and Plutonia Morelet in Stabile, 1864. As the centipede name PLUTONIINAE Bollman is the senior homonym, it is proposed that the entire generic name Plutonia be used as the stem to form the gastropod subfamily name PLUTONIAINAE Cockerell.
