 Comments
       
  Comment: Genitive singular of 'cupes' (a variant on 'cuppes', fond of delicacies) is cupedis, with stem cuped-, so family name is correctly formed as Cupedidae  
    Although frequently dated to 1836, the '1836' work that made available the family-group name based on genus Cupes was actually published in 1838
