	abstract = {<p>The purpose of this application, under Article 23.9.3 of the Code, is to suppress the little-used senior homonym\&nbsp;Charinidae\&nbsp;Gray, 1849\&nbsp;in order to conserve the family-group name\&nbsp;Charinidae\&nbsp;Quintero, 1986.\&nbsp;Charinidae\&nbsp;Quintero, 1986\&nbsp;is a well-established name for the most speciose group of Amblypygi, while\&nbsp;Charinidae\&nbsp;(originally\&nbsp;Charinini)\&nbsp;Gray, 1849\&nbsp;has been little used since its original proposal; to resurrect this name would be disruptive to both arachnid and snake taxonomy. The suppression of\&nbsp;Charinidae\&nbsp;Gray 1849\&nbsp;will help to conserve its widely used junior synonym\&nbsp;Ungaliopheinae\&nbsp;McDowell, 1987. The name\&nbsp;Charinidae\&nbsp;Cope, 1886\&nbsp;is declared nomen oblitum under Article 23.9.2 of the Code. The family-group name\&nbsp;Charinusidae\&nbsp;Pyron, Reynolds \&amp; Burbrink, 2014\&nbsp;(Arachnida) proposed to replace the family-group name\&nbsp;Charinidae\&nbsp;Quintero, 1986\&nbsp;is unavailable and unnecessary.</p>},
