Thanks for pointing this out. It looks like there is a family of primarily (perhaps entirely?) extinct insects called Personidae which we are pulling in from GBIF (see links https://tree.opentreeoflife.org/taxonomy/browse?id=6293460 ). I have not looked, but I suspect that is not a valid name. We do have the mollusc family Personidae (see https://tree.opentreeoflife.org/taxonomy/browse?id=762727). GBIF puts some of the molluscs in that family and our taxonomy merger did not notice that there cannot be 2 families called "Personidae" in animals.

Here is the PBDB/fossilworks record for the fossil insect family, Personidae Novokshonov, 1995: http://fossilworks.org/bridge.pl?a=taxonInfo&taxon_no=218334 (I did not have this in IRMNG, but will add it). The name must be invalid, since its type genus (Persona Novokshonov, 1995) is a junior homonym of Persona Montfort, 1810 (accepted as Distorsio Röding, 1798) in the correct (accepted) family Personidae Gray, 1854 in Mollusca.

will be mostly fixed by https://github.com/OpenTreeOfLife/edOTTs/commit/a30e3c09781803973a6e914013ae9675961b2576 (though leaving in the single fossil species that @TonyRees notes must be an invalid name, because I can't find the correct name. But that species won't be displayed in the tree because it is extinct, and the other members of Personidae were moved by that edOTT into Mollusca)
