Abstract:

The Commission has ruled that homonymy between the Coleoptera
family-group name NOMIIDAE Gozis, 1875 (type genus Nomius Laporte, 1835) and
Hymenoptera family-group name NOMIINAE Robertson, 1904 (type genus Nomia
Latreille, 1804) be removed by changing the spelling of the senior name (the entire
generic name of Nomius is used to form NOMIUSIDAE), while the hymenopteran
family-group name (based on Nomia Latreille, 1804) remains unaltered.
