Description:
Phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of Nesoctites as the sister-group of all
\nextant woodpeckers (Picidae), except Jynx, Sasia, Verreauxia, and Picumnus. Bock (1994) listed
\n\xe2\x80\x98Nesoctitinae\xe2\x80\x99 Wolters, 1976, as an available family-group name. We show that the latter name
\ndid not meet the requirements of the ICZN Code (1999) and is therefore unavailable. However,
\nShort (1974) used the name Nesoctitini and described differences with other woodpeckers and
\nshould, therefore, be regarded as the author of the family-group name.
