Taxacom: Hepialidae vs Epialidae

[John Grehan]

in 1878 Burmeister listed the moth family 'Hepialidae' as 'Epialidae' with
the footnote

(*) L'ancienne ortographe : Hepialidae est fausse, le nom générique étant
dérivé ήπίϦϵάλοϛ du mot grec, febris algida.

my English translation being

(*) The old spelling: Hepialidae is wrong, the generic name being derived
ήπίϦϵάλοϛ from the Greek word, febris algida.

The term 'Epialidae' was never adopted. Was this because Burmeister was
wrong, or because of some overriding clause in the Code? I would be
grateful for any enlightenment as I am as dead as a doornail when it comes
to such matters.
