The orthography of this subtribal name is unusual. "Ichnestomina" is derived from an incorrect stem formation, whereas Ichnestomatina is grammatically correct. However, Perissinotto (2022b) showed that the wrongly formed name has predominantly been in use in the literature of the previous 100 years, whereas the grammatically correct form had been used only in two publications and one thesis.
Perissinotto (2022b: 280) hence appealed to the 'prevailing usage' clause of the ICZN [Article 29.5: Maintenance of current spellings] to preserve the name Ichnestomina against the more technically correct but virtually ignored “Ichnestomatina."

Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
