Enidae Woodward, 1903

Remarks: This family-level taxon was first called Buliminidae Kobelt, 1880 (Mollusca, Gastropoda). Its spelling was changed to Buliminusidae by emending the stem of the name of the type genus Buliminus Beck, 1837 , while leaving the foraminiferan name (based on Bulimina d'Orbigny, 1826 ) unchanged, in order to remove the homonymy with Buliminidae Jones in Griffith & Henfrey, 1875 (Rhizopoda, Foraminifera). The widely used name Enidae Woodward, 1903 (Gastropoda) was given precedence over Buliminusidae Kobelt, 1880 , given that the names of Ena (a senior subjective synonym of Buliminus Beck ) and of its type species, Bulimus montanus Draparnaud, 1801 , had been placed on Official Lists in 1957 (ICZN, 2003).
