Nomenclature

Beu (1998, 2008) favours usage of Tonnoidea and Tonnidae rather than Cassoidea and Cassidae preferred by Riedel (1995). This is in agreement with the action of Thiele (1925) who placed Tonnidae and Cassidae under "stirps Tonnacea", therefore acting as first reviser under ICZN art. 24

Send `identify` when your state isn't `connected`? DISCONNECT. Send anything other than `identify` when your state *is* `connected`? DISCONNECT.
