Trox in Insecta:Psocoptera:Trogiidae, should be in Insecta:Coleoptera:Trogidae #411

Closed opentreeapi closed 5 months ago

opentreeapi commented 6 years ago

The members of the beetle family Trox are found in two places: Insecta:Psocoptera:Trogiidae and Insecta:Coleoptera:Trogidae.

As far as I can tell, there is not genus Trox in the Trogiidae, so all members of that genus are beetles and should be in Trogidae.

Members of Omorgus and Afromorgus are also currently divided among Pscoptera:Trogiidae and Coleoptera:Trogidae; all should be in Coleoptera:Trogidae https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trogiidae https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trogidae

fixed in previous OTT (though Afromorgus is now barren in OTT).
