  Remark
:
Authority Luther (1948) introduces the name Promesostominae as a subfamily. Dan Hartog (1964) raises it to the level of family, stating Promesostomidae nov. fam. However, changes in rank within a categorial group (in this case the family group) does not alter authorship (ICZN Art.50.3.1). Hence Luther (1948) is the author of the name Promesostomidae (Ref. 3477).
