Tribe CERATOCANTHINI Martínez, 1968

Original spelling and citation: Ceratocanthini Martínez 1968: 14

Type genus: Ceratocanthus White, 1842: 93

Synonym: Acanthocerini Lacordaire, 1856

Original spelling and citation: Acanthocérides Lacordaire 1856: 155

Type genus: Acanthocerus MacLeay, 1819: 136

Remark: Although this family-group name was not originally proposed in a Latinized form, it has subsequently been Latinized by numerous authors and should be considered available under Article 11.7.2. This family-group name is permanently invalid because the type genus, Acanthocerus MacLeay, 1819 , is a junior homonym of Acanthocerus Palisot de Beauvois, 1818 (Hemiptera) (Article 39). Ceratocanthus White, 1842 was proposed as a replacement name for Acanthocerus MacLeay, 1819 .
