Nomenclature Gray (1847) did not give reasons for establishing the name Glossidae, but he treated Isocardia Lamarck, 1799, as a synonym of Glossus Poli, 1795, and Glossidae can thus be considered a substitute name for Isocardiidae. Glossidae is in prevailing usage and it is conserved under Art. 40.2, with the priority of Isocardiidae (1840). [details]
