Homonyms

Family Protomyceae Gray, Nat. Arr. Brit. Pl. 1: 532. 1821, nom. inval. (nom. descr.)

The family name "Protomyceae" 1821 has nothing in common to do with Protomycetaceae in current use, since it is a descriptive name (prohibited by ICN, Art. 18), not based on the validly published generic name [Protomyces Unger 1833].
