Clionitidae
Discussion
Arabu's name is invalid because the type genus Clionites Mojsisovics is a homonym. Subsequent workers changed the spelling to Clionititidae but still attributed the name to Arabu; that procedure is not correct. A replacement family name needs to be proposed but, as far as I can tell, none has been proposed.
