Nomenclature Paludestrinidae was introduced as a substitute name for Hydrobiidae, based on the erroneous assumption that its type genus Hydrobia Hartmann, 1821 was a junior homonym of Hydrobius Leach, 1817 [Coleoptera]. However, an overlooked type species fixation for the type genus Paludestrina made Paludestrinidae a senior synonym of Eatoniellidae (Kadolsky, 2007, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 64(1): 8), and Paludestrinidae has been placed on the Official Index by Opinion 2202.
