Abstract:

The purpose of this application, under Articles 29 and 55.3.1 of the Code,
is to remove the homonymy between two family-group names, CORYNINAE of
Hymenoptera (Insecta) and CORYNIDAE of Anthoathecata (Cnidaria). It is proposed
to adopt the Greek genitive form Corynid- of the sawfly genus Corynis Thunberg,
1789 as the stem of the corresponding family-group name, giving CORYNIDINAE
Benson, 1938. CORYNIDAE Johnston, 1836, a name for hydrozoans, would remain
unchanged.
