Baeomorphidae new status

Baeomorphinae Yoshimoto, 1975. Type genus: Baeomorpha Brues, 1937. Synonymized with Rotoitidae Bouček & Noyes, 1987 (and inferred synonymy with Rotoitinae ) by Gumovsky et al. (2018).

Discussion.

The family group name Baeomorphinae was established by Yoshimoto (1975). Rotoitidae was established by Bouček and Noyes (1987). When the two groups were synonymized by Gumovsky et al. (2018), they invoked article 35.5 of the ICZN to conserve the family name Rotoitidae . However, as Baeomorphinae cannot be recognized as a subfamily independent of a Rotoitinae , the family name must be treated with priority and Baeomorphidae recognized over Rotoitidae .
