summary:

The present research is devoted to the review of mammal families the world and to the basics of creation of Ukrainian family vernacular names. This necessity is actualized by the expansion of the range of objects that draw special attention in diversitology in connection with the development of museum expositions, education, educational literature, monitoring programs of alien species and their invasions and expansions, etc. The specifics of formation of typified and unified names for families in the Ukrainian language and the clarity of Ukrainian vernacular names according to the scientific names of corresponding taxa of mammals of the world fauna are considered. All such features are reviewed regarding to the whole set of the modern mammal fauna, including family names initially offered to extinct groups and families in which typical genera are extinct. The basis for the study of the mammal taxonomy was the review of the "Mammal Species of the World" (2005, edited by D. Wilson and D.  Reeder) with a number of reconsidered details from other authors, including T. Vaughan with colleagues (2011), S. Kisia (2016), and R. Novak (2018). A list of 16 additions is presented regarding the names of families (one more addition deals with order range) both accepted or (rarely) rejected after the publication of mentioned review of 2005. The generalization of data on typical morphemes in taxonomic names of different ranks and recommendations regarding the formation of vernacular names are made. Similarly to the accepted provisions of the ICZN (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature) concerning scientific names of families presented in Latin or Latinized forms from other languages, the basis for the family name is the name of the type genus of family formatted by the word-forming suffixes "-ov/-ev" in the form of "-ovi" or "‑evi" (for example, the name "vyvirkovi" for the family Sciuridae with the type genus Sciurus, the "inievi" for the Iniidae family with the type genus Inia). Formants "-achi", "-yni" and others (for example, "myshachi", "myshyni") are rejected as unproductive for the formation of group names. A list of mammal families of the world (totally 160) and their type genera and type species is arranged. New names are proposed for taxa, which did not have Ukrainian equivalents to valid scientific names (totally 33). The etymology of scientific and vernacular names for type genera of mammal families of the world is collected.

Key words:

family taxonomy, vernacular names, Ukrainian nomenclature, world mammal fauna.
