  • Subfamily PHOTININAE Gilgio-Tos, 1915 Terra (1995) highlighted a case of family-group homonymy existing between Photininae Olivier, 1907 (Coleoptera, Lampyridae) and Photininae Giglio-Tos, 1915 (Mantodea, Mantidae). Svenson & Branham (2007) proposed a resolution of this nomenclatural issue by changing the root Photin- to Photina- so that the subfamily name will be emended to “ Photinainae ” Giglio-Tos, 1915. Although some authors have already used “ Photinainae ” (e.g. Rivera 2010 a; Roy & Stiewe 2011), the case (No. 3402) is still under consideration and prevailing usage of names is to be maintained until the ruling of the Commission is published (ICZN, art 82). Accordingly, the name Photininae is here used instead.
