It is devoted entirely to providing a service for the zoological and palaeontological community and has the task of stabilising and promoting uniformity in the nomenclature of animals without interfering with taxonomic freedom. To this end, the Commission publishes the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the 3rd Edition of which appeared in 1985 and contains the definitive rules for the application of zoological names. The Commission is empowered to suspend the rules when their strict application would cause confusion or would act against stability or universality in nomenclature, but only after consultation with interested zoologists through the Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, in which such problems are discussed before the Commission reaches a final decision by means of a vote. The Commission's rulings are published in the Bulletin in the form of Opinions or, when completion or correction of an earlier Opinion is involved, Directions. Names and titles of works upon which the Commission has ruled are placed on the Commission's Official Lists or Official Indexes. These cover family-group names, generic names, specific names and the titles of works. In 1958 and 1966, the International Trust for Zoological Nomenclature, which acts on behalf of the Commission as its funding and publishing body, published instalments of the Official Lists and Indexes in a number of separate parts. The present volume incorporates all the names and titles of works included in these earlier instalments and those added up to the end of volume 42 (December 1985) of the Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature. Entries total about 9,900, of which 134 are the titles of works. Names are listed in alphabetical order. Homonyms are listed in alphabetical order by author, this being the arrangement likely to be most helpful to the majority of users of this volume. Those who would have preferred homonyms to be listed chronologically will have little difficulty in following the present arrangement. Names have been placed on the Official Lists and Indexes over a span of many years and the varied wording of the entries reflects differing practices on the part of the Commission. Similarly, abbreviations of references are not in all cases consistent. Each entry for a name or a title of a work includes the number of the Opinion or Direction under which it was placed on an Official List or Index. Publications containing most Opinions and Directions and the detailed history of each case are still in print and can be obtained from The International Trust for Zoological Nomenclature, c/o British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, U.K. The names and titles of works are listed in four sections: Section I: Family-group names placed on the Official List and Index. Section II: Generic names placed on the Official List and Index. Section III: Specific names placed on the Official List and Index. Section IV Part I: Titles of works placed on the Official List. Part II: Titles of works placed on the Official Index. Following the sections giving the names and the tides of works is a systematic index of all names on the Official Lists followed by a list of bibliographic references to the Directions and Opinions under which names and titles of works have been placed on the Official Lists and Indexes. It is inevitable that a compilation of this kind will contain a number of errors. The Trust would welcome notification of corrections for incorporation in any subsequent edition of the Official Lists and Indexes. This volume has been edited by R. V. Melville (Secretary to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature from 1968 to 1985) and J. D. D. Smith (Scientific Administrator to the Commission) with assistance from the other members of the Commission's Secretariat: P. K. Tubbs (Executive Secretary), M. E. Tollitt (Zoologist) and N. A. Erridge (Assistant Zoologist). STATUS OF ENTRIES ON OFFICIAL LISTS AND INDEXES The status of works, names and nomenclatural acts on the Official Lists or Indexes is described in the Code (Article 78) as follows: OFFICIAL LISTS: Status of works, names and nomenclatural acts A name entered in an Official List is an available name. A name may be placed in an Official List without any additional qualification. A name entered in an Official List is deemed to have an authorship, date, publication, name-bearing type and additional qualifications (such as precedence) attributed to it in the relevant Opinion or Direction. If a name entered in an Official List is thought to be a synonym of another available name (whether in an Official List or not), the Principle of Priority is to apply unless the Commission rules otherwise or has given precedence to one over the other in the relevant Opinion or Direction. A name or nomenclatural act occurring in a work entered in the Official List of Works Approved as Available for Zoological Nomenclature is subject to the provisions of the Code and to any limitation imposed by the Commission on the use of that work in zoological nomenclature. In the introductory note to the 1958 instalment of the Official Lists it was stated that, as a result of a Paris (1948) Congress decision, no name in an Official List was to be rejected in favour of some other name. This decision was not ratified by the London (1958) Congress. Accordingly, it was not incorporated into the Code and lapsed from the date of publication of the Code (1st Edition, 1961). OFFICIAL INDEXES: Status of names A name entered in an Official Index has the status attributed to it in the relevant Opinion or Direction. OFFICIAL INDEX OF REJECTED AND INVALID WORKS IN ZOOLOGICAL NOMENCLATURE: Status of names and nomenclatural acts occurring in works A name or nomenclatural act (but not information relevant to zoological nomenclature) occurring in a work entered in the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Works in Zoological Nomenclature has no availability or validity in zoological nomenclature unless the Commission has ruled otherwise. SECTION I: FAMILY-GROUP NAMES This section lists every family-group name placed on the Official List of Family- Group Names and the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Family-Group Names in Zoology. Names on the Official List are in bold type and those on the Official Index are in non-bold (roman) type. The Direction or Opinion (0.) number under which each name was placed on the Official List or Index is given at the end of that entry. Bibliographic references to Directions and Opinions are given at the end of this volume. 3 FAMILY—GROUP NAMES ABDERITINAEAmeghino, 1889, Adas Acad. Cienc. Cordoba ACMEIDAE Pollonera, 1905, Boll. Mus.
