The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has emended the spelling of the name Xylophagidae Purchon, 1941 (Mollusca, Bivalvia) to remove homonymy with Xylophagidae Fall{\'e}n, 1810 (Insecta, Diptera). The stem of the molluscan generic name Xylophaga Turton, 1822 has been emended to Xylophaga- to give Xylophagaidae while the dipteran family group name (based on Xylophagus Meigen, 1803) remains unchanged.
