Taxonomy
From editor or global species database
Editor's comment Tracking entry for searches for "Alciopidae". Alciopidae has been down-ranked to the tribe Alciopini in Eteoninae in Phyllodocidae. Tribe and family are family-level ranks, and Alciopini/Alciopidae are the same entity in taxonomy despite differing suffixes. See Alciopini for a history of the change, and links to the supporting molecular evidence, but Alciopini was first used as a tribe, rather than as family Alciopidae, by Rouse & Pleijel (2001) [details]
