The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has hereby removed the homonymy between the family-group names CHILODONTIDAE Bronn, 1859, CHILODONTINAE, an emendation of CHILODINAE Eigenmann, 1910, and CHILODONTINAE Wenz, 1938, by: 1) using its plenary power to suppress the genus-group name\ Chilodon\ Ehrenberg, 1834 (Ciliophora) for the purposes of the Principle of Priority but not for those of the Principle of Homonymy, and the family-group name CHILODONTIDAE Bronn, 1859 (Ciliophora) for the purposes of both the Principle of Priority and the Principle of Homonymy; and 2) using its specific powers to rule that the family-group name CHILODONTINAE, as emended by Fowler, is an unjustified emendation of the original spelling CHILODINAE\ Eigenmann, 1910 (Pisces). Therefore, the family-group name CHILODONTIDAE Wenz, 1938 (Gastropoda) remains unchanged, the family-group name CHILODONTIDAE Bronn, 1859 (Ciliophora) is placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Family-Group Names in Zoology and CHILODINAE Eigenmann, 1910 is to be used in Pisces.
