Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

A fact from Acochlidiacea appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 10 December 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that research on the acochlidians, a group with 30 species, resulted in the redefinition of the Heterobranchia, the largest clade of gastropods, and has led to the creation of the new clades Euopisthobranchia and Panpulmonata in 2010? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/December.

I feel that the number of species in the Diversity section of the taxobox and corresponding Description section is unnecessarily exact and simply clutters up an already cluttered taxobox:

• 30 species (including one described and one undescribed species of Aitengidae) in 2010
• 32 species in 2011
• 33 species in 2012 + 9 undescribed

It is very likely that the "exact" species count will be change over time, and the citation of three different numbers differing by 3 contributes no meaningful information about the taxon. It would be much more succinct to state "Approx. 30"., or similar, with corresponding citations, and devote more text to the organisms themselves.

This is probably a larger topic for the Mollusca in general, but I think we should probably follow the taxonomy on Molluscabase, yes? http://molluscabase.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=10062 Gastropoda (Class) Heterobranchia (Subclass) Euthyneura (Infraclass) Tectipleura (Subterclass) Acochlidiimorpha (Superorder) Acochlidioidea (Superfamily)

However, I don't know how big of a can of worms this reclassification will be for other mollusc taxon pages on wikipedia, so I'm a bit hesitant to start a complete taxonomic overhaul... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jesseseeem (talk • contribs) 01:42, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Acochlidiimorpha vs Acochlidiomorpha, both correct, alternative spellings?--Estopedist1 (talk) 20:38, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
