Note on the authority and dates
Family names such as this one, Aglajidae Pilsbry, 1895, that have two dates are those names which are ruled by Article 40 of the ICZN Code. "If... a family-group name was replaced before 1961 because of the synonymy of the type genus, the replacement name is to be maintained if it is in prevailing usage. A name maintained by virtue of this Article retains its own author but takes the priority of the replaced name
