Authority "Hickson (1906) is believed here to have been the first author to use the name Atollidae. Fewkes (1886) commented on the marked similarity between the nominal genera Atolla Haeckel, 1880 and Collaspis Haeckel, 1880. Bigelow (1909) regarded the two as congeneric, and acted as First Reviser (ICZN Art 24.2) in assigning precedence to the generic name Atolla. He also adopted the name Atollidae in place of the family group name Collaspidae Haeckel, 1880. The name Atollidae, although founded after Collaspidae, is valid under the current code (ICZN Art. 40.2), having come into prevailing usage. For nomenclatural purposes it takes the date of priority of the replaced name (i.e., Collaspidae Haeckel, 1880), and is deemed to be a senior synonym of it (ICZN Art. 40.2.1)." [details]
