Description of problem:

Step 1: Navigate to the Lepidoptera page or any of the moth genus pages

Step 2: Go to the Taxonomy tab; you should notice that the genera are not in their families, even if the Wikipedia pages state that they should be in X family

Cycloplasis should be moved to Yponomeutoidea > Heliodinidae family

Eulyonetia should be moved to Yponomeutoidea > Lyonetiidae family

Podiasa should be moved to Yponomeutoidea > Yponomeutidae family

Pliniaca should be moved to Yponomeutoidea > Plutellidae family

Can anyone help move these genera into the right families?

Hi,

Did you flag these taxa for curation?

https://help.inaturalist.org/en/support/solutions/articles/151000170375-something-is-wrong-with-inaturalist-s-taxonomy-a-species-name-or-common-name-how-does-this-get-fix

heads up this is not a bug, but rather those genera have intentionally been grafted directly to Lepidoptera for now

there are existing flags with comments/explanations for these genera:

Cyclopasis: https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/650417

Podiasa, Pliniaca, Eulyonetia: https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/650416

please leave comments directly on those to further discuss the placement of these

Sorry about that, I didn’t realize what flags were/how to check them until now, so I didn’t know these were actually in the right place all along :sweat_smile:

it’s no problem, always good to check if you think something isn’t right
