Taxonomy
editThe family Faubelidae was previously under the name Notocirridae, named for its type genus of Notocirrus Faubel, 1983. However, a separate genus of polychaetes under the same name already existed, being Notocirrus Schmarda, 1861; this made Faubel's Notocirrus invalid under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, being a junior homonym. With this, Faubel's Notocirrus was replaced with the eponymous Faubelus by Hüseyin Özikmen of Gazi University, who further proposed the replacement of Notocirridae with Faubelidae for this reason.[2]
The family currently contains the following genera:[1]
- Amyris Marcus & Marcus, 1968
- Chiliplana Faubel, 1983
- Copidoplana Bock, 1913
- Diplandros Hyman, 1953
- Faubelus Özdikmen, 2010
- Notoplehnia Faubel, 1983
- Triadomma Marcus, 1947
- Tripyloplana Faubel, 1983
