ICZN rules art.29.2: family name = stem+idae...

ex: Cerithium belongs to Cerithiidae, like Caro belongs to Caroidae,
Panganelli to Panganelliidae, Wolff to Wolffidae etc.

So, Trapezium von Mülhfeld, 1811 might belong to the Trapeziidae... But this
family is often labelled Trapezidae Lamy, 1920, with only one i.
In this case, what might we do ? Is it allowed to correct Lamy's name
according to art. 29.2, or is there somewhere a rule that prohibits such a
correction ?

Olivier Caro
