 Comments
       
  Comment: The mammalian family group name Macropodinae Gray 1821 had priority over the fish family group name Macropodinae Liem 1963 [TSN 638689; actually attributable to Hoedeman 1948, it seems], so the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (Opinion 2058, September 2003) emended the fish name to Macropodusinae, thus resolving the homonymy
