| I have made various edits on the Limacodidae page, though one major problem with the page is
the placement of this family in Cossoidea, which has no scientific support at this time, as discussed in the Handbook of Zoology and in my work in 1996. In otherwords, there are no known uniquely derived characters shared between a Cossoidea which includes Limacodidae and Dalceridae, whereas there are uniquely derived characters shared between Limacodidae, Dalceridae, Megalopygidae and Zygaenidae. I have no problem with it being stated in the text that Limacodidae are placed by some in the Cossoidea, however, I would like to see a lot of evidence using excepted phylogenetic methods that supports this inclusion. Molecular evidence should be providing more evidence in the next few months through the ATOL project for Lepidoptera. |

Over last 13 years since I wrote this there has been a massive amount of new evidence that Zygaenoidea rather than Cossoidea is the appropriate place for Limacodidae. Marcepstein55 (talk) 15:12, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
We need a wikipedia page for: Olona sp., Limacodidae[edit]
If you look up Olona sp., Limacodidae, you get no results in wikipedia.
Reasoning: They don't want to "LOOK AT THE FUNKY BOY GO"
But, seriously, this is a species of bug. It must have some kind of documentation in wikipedia.
- Well, it does have some kind of documentation, here. You'll see that there are well over 100 limacodid genera including Olona that don't have their own articles yet. Maybe some day someone will get around to it, but it doesn't appear to be on anyone's priority list at the moment, so you'll likely be waiting a while. Dyanega (talk) 18:13, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
