Authority Saint-Joseph (1899) is accepted as the authority and date for family Pilargidae, although Saint-Joseph used the informal French 'Famille des Pilargidiens' in headings in both the articles where he introduced the new genus Pilargis and placed it in a new family. He used a similar style for all his usages of family names. Saint-Joseph clearly intended to create a new family, and correctly based it on his new genus Pilargis. The relevant article in the Code is 11.7.2 which permits an original non-latinized family name that was published before 1900 to have the original author name & date, rather than that of the author who later latinized it, if it was indeed latinized by later workers and generally accepted as valid [details]
Etymology Not stated. Unclear. Not a known word in Latin or Greek, and no other biologist has used it. See speculation in the etymological comments for genus Pilargis from which it was derived. [details]
