Family Chilodontidae Eigenmann 1903

Chilodinae Eigenmann 1903:144 [ref. 1218] (subfamily) Chilodus [stem emended to Chilodont- by Fowler 1950:214 [ref. 18869], confirmed by Lindberg 1971:84 [ref. 27211], by Nelson 1976:121 [ref. 32838] and by Vari, Castro & Raredon 1995:1 [ref. 21817]]. There is a pending BZN proposal (Case 3555, Herbert & Bouchet 2011 [ref. 31588]) that would preserve the spelling Chilodontinae Eigenmann 1910 in fishes [the date should have been 1903].
