Talk:Ditrysia

The taxonomy tables gets really troublesome once you get into lepidoptera. I think I'm going to skip own to papilionoidea and go down from there it is a little more clearcut at that point.

Please abandon archaic classification systems once and for all or no taxonomist will use wikispecies!

I fully agree with the above comment. The taxonomic divisions from this point are entirely unhelpful, indeed a huge hindrance to development of species pages. Does anyone seriously still think that Cossina and Tineina are likely to be monophyletic groups? Also only superfamilies and families that result from the current emerging consensus of the wider taxonomic community should be adopted. Moreover at the generic and species levels, how are the massive synonymic problems now going to be resolved that presumably stem from import of external databases?
