Type genus: Pyrene Röding, 1798

Suter (1 91 3)] as a substitute name for Columbellidae
because Pyrene has precedence
over Columbella Lamarck, 1799; however,
Suter did not treat Columbella as a synonym
of Pyrene, and Art. 40.2 does not apply, -inae,

Pyrgininae Germain, 1916 [30 November]
Reference: Annali del Museo Cívico di Storia
Naturale di Genova, ser. 3, 7: 300-301
Type genus: Pyrgina Greef, 1882
Remarks: Original spelling Pyrginae, but the
context indicates that the name is based on
Pyrgina Greeff, 1882, not on Pyrgus Albers,
1850 [Bulimulidae] (non Pyrgus Hijbner,
1819 [Lepidoptera], type genus of Pyrgidae
Burmeister, 1878). Germain attributed the
name to himself with the date "1915", but
we have not been able to trace Pyrginae in
any of Germain's 1915 papers.
