I came across some spelling errors in the Chironomidae subfamilies:
Chironominae occurs twice; once spelled wrong as Chironomiinae
Orthocladiinae occurs thrice; twice spelled wrong as Orthocladinae and Orthocladioinae
Tanypodinae occurs thrice; twice spelled wrong as Tanyopinae and Tanpodinae
When I started looking into it, I also noticed other errors, such as Ceratopogoninae being classified as a subfamily of Chironomidae, even though it belongs in Ceratopogonidae. I don’t have time to trace more errors, but the spelling errors in the subfamilies actually caused me to almost miss an important genus.
