Comment:
'Miniopteridae Mein and Tupinier, 1977' is an instance of chresonymy. Dobson (1875) published the name Miniopterinae, and Mein and Turpinier (1977) raised it to family rank. Due to the Principle of Coordination (ICZN 1999, Art. 36.1), authorship does not change when a subfamily is elevated to full family rank
