Thanks to all who weighed in on this.

The change has been noted but doubt I will change my inventory 
catalog numbers to reflect the separation.  I remember way back when 
Costellariinae were separated from Mitridae . . . it took weeks or 
longer to change the data labels and computer database records.  My 
business is not a museum and can withstand a tacit acknowledgment of 
the change without having to change hundreds of labels and computer records.

I'm also curious as to how museums are handling the recent changes to 
long standing taxonomy?  It would seem a monumental task to overhaul 
entire families within a museum's holdings.
