All frogs are animals, not all animals are frogs. Common names do not represent Familes well. #154

In some places, a single common name is used to represent a scientific Family. 
It gives misleading results.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Example: Showing species pages representing SA Museum. 
http://bie.ala.org.au/search?q=*&fq=uid:dr742
2. In LH menu, there is a heading: Species groups
    Aphids (150)
    Butterflies, Moths (50)
    Ant-lions (27)
    Mantids (19)
    Ants (18)
For APHIDS, this is really meant to represent HEMIPTERA and includes: Aphids, 
Bugs, Cicadas, Harlequin Bug, Leafhoppers, Scale Insects, True Bugs...
For ANT-LIONS this is meant to represent NEUROPTERA and includes: Ant-lions, 
Lacewings And Relatives  
For ANTS, this is meant to represent HYMENOPTERA and includes: Ants, Bees, 
Wasps, Sawflies, ...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It's a bit confusing, as there are no images of APHIDS (there are images of 
Cicadas), there are no images of ANTS (there are images of bees).

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.
This is a bit tough as there is no one-to-one relationship between common names 
and scientific Families. .
