Monotypic taxon
Attention Stemonitis Not sure what the monotypic taxon thing is about. At least two species have been described. Or were you referring to there being only one genus? JonRichfield (talk) 16:47, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep, exactly that. There is a long-standing consensus (see WP:TOL) that where two taxa cover the same set of organisms (i.e. "monotypy" in the normal sense, not in the purist's "only one type specimen" sense), there should be a single article covering both, and placed at the lower rank, with the exception of monotypic genera, which are put at the genus title for simplicity's sake. --Stemonitis (talk) 17:27, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Oh. OK. Now, you said: "never manually add a stub category" in your edit description. Could you please explain or point me at an explanatory article? If I remember correctly I created the stub without a category (oversight) then got a message (automated as I remember) asking me to add a category. What should I have done (apart from including the category from scratch). (Not complaining; asking.) JonRichfield (talk) 12:00, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Is Heteroceilidae a valid insect taxon name?
I got here by a link to Heterocheilidae from the article List of nematode families. The given context was
 * (Phylum nematoda)
 * Class Chromadorea
 * Subclass Chromadoria
 * Order Rhabditida
 * Suborder Spirurina
 * Infraorder Ascaridomorpha
 * Superfamily Ascaridoidea Baird, 1853
 * Heterocheilidae Railliet & Henry, 1915

If this is true, then Heterocheilidae was established for a nematode taxon in 1915. On the other hand, the taxobox in the article Heterocheila claims that Heterocheilidae was established for an insect taxon in 1991. If this also is true, then the nematode family name should have precedence over the diptera family name, shouldn't it?

Here and here, respectively, you claimed the nematode and fly family designations with the same name. Would you please check your respective sources once more? JoergenB (talk) 04:32, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
