🧍 Spelling corrected in Opinion 128. Rule 8 of the 2022 revision of the ICNP does not require that the name of a class validly published before 1 January 2012 be formed from the stem of the name of the type genus of the type order of the class plus the ending ia. However, this class name used an incorrect plural ending and had to be orthographically corrected.Publication:
