[QUOTE="l_raty, post: 3371660, member: 24811"] Wasn't that changed back in a H&M corrigendum? --- EDIT - It was reverted to Calcariidae [[URL="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/272420607"]here[/URL]], but I'm not sure I understand the comments (even though "LR" refers to me...). "Plectrophenacinae Olphe-Galliard 1890" (based on [I]Plectrophenax[/I] Stejneger 1882) as reported by Bock 1994 doesn't exist. The only author that ever formed a family name from this generic name, so far as I know, is Bock 1994 himself; but he didn't use this name as valid, hence the name is not available from his work. With the potential caveat that I have checked the literature systematically up to somewhere between 1870 and 1880 only (wholly unrecorded names or name occurrences are certainly still hidden in works I haven't checked), it seems that two names might apply to this group: Plectrophanidae Olphe-Galliard 1890; type genus [I]Plectrophanes[/I] Meyer 1815; type species, by original monotypy, [I]Fringilla calcarata[/I] Pallas 1773. OS: Plectrophaneae OR: stirps OD: Olphe-Galliard L. 1890. Contributions à la faune ornithologique de l'Europe occidentale. Fascicule XXXI. Emberizidae. Pitrat Aîné, Lyon; R Friedlander und Sohn, Berlin. link to OD: [url]http://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/44637251[/url] (p.4) link to OD of type genus: [url]http://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/46138817[/url] (p.xii) link to OD of type species of type genus: [url]http://gdz.sub.uni-goettingen.de/dms/load/img/?PPN=PPN330046632[/url] (physical pp.344 & 413) Notes: The type genus [U]IS NOT[/U] [I]Plectrophenax[/I] Stej.! ([I]Plectrophenax[/I] is explicitly treated as invalid in the work.) O-G cited the type genus from [URL="http://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/42446495"]Meyer 1822[/URL], but this is a subsequent use. Calcariidae Ridgway 1901; type genus [I]Calcarius[/I] Bechstein 1802; type species, by original monotypy, [I]Fringilla lapponica[/I] Linnaeus 1758. OS: Calcarieae OR: group OD: Ridgway R. 1901. The birds of North and Middle America: a descriptive catalogue of the higher groups, genera, species, and subspecies of birds known to occur in North America, from the Arctic lands to the isthmus of Panama, the West Indies and other islands of the Caribbean sea, and the Galapagos archipelago.

Both are introduced fully correctly, but neither is based on [I]Plectrophenax[/I]. The type species of the two type genera are subjective synonyms, they both denote the Lapand Bunting. The choice is between using the older name, Plectro[U]phan[/U]idae, based on a type genus that has not been used as valid for ages, or using the younger name, Calcariidae, treating it as taking priority from the older one under Art. 40.2, because [URL="https://www.google.be/search?tbm=bks&q=calcariidae"]it is in prevailing use[/URL], and was introduced before 1961 in a context in which the type genus of the older name was being synonymized with that of the younger one, which it still is. The latter makes more sense to me. Either way, "Plectro[U]phenac[/U]idae" is just not among the options. [/QUOTE]
