Talk:Peoria (moth)

Tribe in infobox

@Hyperik: I changed the taxon field from "Peoria (moth)" to "Peoria" thinking that was causing the title and header of the infobox to not show in italics, and that worked, but it changed the tribe from Anerastiini to Peoriini. I'm not sure which is correct. My source for the tribe was the existing article Peoria calamistis. I'm not sure which is right, but wanted to bring this to your attention. I'm not comfortable with the intricacies of Automatic taxoboxes. Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 22:45, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, thanks! Looks like this 2003 paper looked at the placement of Peoria and treats Peoriini as a junior synonym of Anerastiini, concluding "it will require a comprehensive cladistic analysis to establish the exact position and rank of the Anerastiini within the Phycitiniae. Until that can be achieved the group is left at tribal level." Wikispecies the same. A 2015 study, which only sampled one species of Peoria said "Our results suggest that separate subfamily status for Anerastiinae may be unwarranted, however, only a single representative was available so we were unable to fully assess its validity as a separate tribe".

I'll go ahead and change it to Anerastiini for now with those references in the template. –Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 23:18, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
