The Commission has emended the spelling of the family-group name metinae Simon, 1894 (Arachnida, Araneae, tetragnathidae), used for a group of orb-weaving spiders and based on the generic name Meta C.L. Koch, 1835, to give metainae, thereby removing homonymy with the crustacean family-group name metidae Boeck, 1872, based on the generic name Metis Philippi, 1843.
