Authority The author of Eunicidae is Berthold (1827: 227) according to Fauchald (1992: 2) as his translation of Latreille was the first to use the name in a valid -idae form. Lamarck (1818) used the family concept, but as 'Eunicae' without using genus Eunice, and Latreille (1825: 239) used 'Eunicaea' as the formal family name. Berthold's work is simply a translation to German of Latreille's work in French. However, this interpretation of Fauchald might be debatable because the 1999 ICZN Code, Article 11.7.2 allows unlatinized family names to be available if "generally accepted as valid ... " and as dating from first publication in vernacular form. This requirement is rather subjective, but if so, Latreille, 1825 might be the author and date of the family. However, the Hartman catalogue used "Savigny" (really it would be Lamarck, 1818). Since Berthold has been adopted in literature since 1992 there seems no need to revisit the authorship/date question, unless there was a synonymous family name published around the same era.  [details]
