Subfamily Necrophilinae Newton, 1997 View in CoL
*Necrophilini Jeannel, 1936: 10 [stem: Necrophil-]. Type genus: Necrophilus Latreille, 1829. Comment: unavailable family-group name, proposed after 1930 without description or bibliographic reference to such a description (Art. 13.1).
Necrophilinae Newton, 1997: 127 [stem: Necrophil-]. Type genus: Necrophilus Latreille, 1829. Comment: the type genus of the older names Necrophilidae Gistel, 1848: [4] and Necrophilidae Gistel, 1856a: 362 cannot be determined (either Necrophilus Latreille, 1829 [ Agyrtidae ] or Necrophila Kirby and Spence, 1828 [ Silphidae ]) and therefore those names are considered unavailable (also see comments in Newton and Thayer (1992: 23) and Newton (1997: 147)).
