Asaphesinae Burks & Heraty new name Asaphini Ashmead, 1904: 327, junior homonym of Asaphidae Burmeister, 1843: 118 (Trilobita). Type genus Asaphes Walker, 1834. http://www.zoobank.org/ urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: DEB481C2-B0F6-4A59-8D10- 8CC63A282D86 Nomenclatural note The subfamily name Asaphinae Ashmead 1904 (originally the tribe Asaphini) is a junior homonym of the trilobite family Asaphidae Burmeister 1843: pg. 118, type genus Asaphus Brongniart. Even though these names were described at different family-group ranks, they are homonyms because all family-group names (superfamily to subtribe) compete for homonymy regardless of rank. The stem of the name (the genitive stem of the type genus) is what indicates homonymy of family groups (ICZN 1999: Article 53.1). In this case, the genitive stems are both Asaph- and both stems are correctly formed. No other familygroup name exists as a junior synonym of Asaphinae Ashmead, and therefore we propose the replacement name Asaphesinae n. n. The two type generic names are not homonyms (ICZN 1999: Article 56.2).
