Anthias Bloch [M. E.] 1792:97 Masc. Labrus anthias Linnaeus 1758. Type by absolute tautonymy. Anthias sacer Bloch 1792:99 is an unneeded replacement for Labrus anthias Linnaeus. Aylopon Rafinesque 1810 is an unneeded replacement, Anthias not preoccupied by Anthia Weber 1801 in Coleoptera. Anthias Bonaparte 1839:166 [ref. 4978] is also involved. Subfamily name changed to Anthiadinae based on Anthiad- by Poey 1861 (R. Fricke, personal communication, Aug. 2015) to avoid homonymy in Coleoptera with stem Anthi (see Gimmel, van der Laan and Fricke, personal communication, Aug. 2015). •Valid as Anthias Bloch 1792 -- (Heemstra 1973 [ref. 55], Tortonese 1973:356 [ref. 7192], Anderson & Heemstra 1980 [ref. 5434], Allen & Starck 1982 [ref. 8518], Randall 1983 [ref. 6022], Tortonese in Whitehead et al. 1986:780 [ref. 13676], Heemstra & Randall 1986:511 [ref. 5667], Katayama & Amaoka 1986 [ref. 6680], Paxton et al. 1989:501 [ref. 12442], Baldwin 1990:943 [ref. 21029], Anderson & Baldwin 2000:370 [ref. 24574], Heemstra et al. 2003:1317 [ref. 27060], Anderson 2006:415 [ref. 28870], Lipej & Dulčić 2010:41 [ref. 36649], Anderson & Heemstra 2012:67 [ref. 31956], Anderson et al. 2017:75 [ref. 35505], Anderson 2018:7 [ref. 36146], Parenti & Randall 2020:8 [ref. 37354]).
