 Comments
       
  Comment: Although the family-group name Euryleptidae is commonly attributed to Lang (1884) or other authors, it was established as a family Euryleptidae by Stimpson (1857:19). Per the Principle of Coordination (ICZN 1999, Art. 36) the name is simultaneously established at all the other family-group ranks (from superfamily to subtribe, with authorship and priority of the original)
