Thanks very much for the info - in addition to our own institutional
database, I've gone in and updated Wikipedia's numerous references to
Axiidae and Axioidea to reflect the change. Now someone has to rename
the sphingid subfamily Macroglossinae!! (junior homonym of fruit bat
subfamily Macroglosssinae - James Adams once wrote ICZN and they said
to simply ignore it!!) ;-)
Peace,
