Taxonomy

The family Faubelidae was previously under the name Notocirridae, named for its type genus of Notocirrus Faubel, 1983. However, a separate genus of polychaetes under the same name already existed, being Notocirrus Schmarda, 1861; this made Faubel's Notocirrus invalid under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, being a junior homonym. With this, Faubel's Notocirrus was replaced with the eponymous Faubelus by Hüseyin Özikmen of Gazi University, who further proposed the replacement of Notocirridae with Faubelidae for this reason.[2]

The family currently contains the following genera:[1]

  • Amyris Marcus & Marcus, 1968
  • Chiliplana Faubel, 1983
  • Copidoplana Bock, 1913
  • Diplandros Hyman, 1953
  • Faubelus Özdikmen, 2010
  • Notoplehnia Faubel, 1983
  • Triadomma Marcus, 1947
  • Tripyloplana Faubel, 1983
