Authority Langerhans (1879) has to be deemed as the author of Autolytinae as reported by San Martín (2003) and not Grube (1850) as reported by Nygren (2003). Grube erected the genus Autolytus, but Langerhans proposed the tribe Autolyteae as senior taxon of Autolytus, Proceraea, Myrianida, Virchowia and Procerastea. See Article 36 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, IV edition. Grube (1850) included Autolytus in his family Syllidea, which he did not subdivide. [details]
