To-do list

Insects

  • WikiProject Hymenoptera?
  • Phylogeny of Apoidea; needs to be reviewed and potentially reorganized according to most recent phylogenetic information
    • Sphecidae/Bembicinae/Crabronidae relative to each other and Anthophila
    • Phylogenetic tree on Apoidea is c. 2018 and does not match the phg. relationships given in family articles, e.g. Bembici(n/d)ae given as outgroup of Sphecidae rather than as subfamily nested within Crabronidae
      • Move to a template of its own and transclude onto relevant page(s)?
    • Bees arose as clade within Crabronidae or within Ammoplanidae?
  • Hemaris genus of hawkmoths
    • North American clearwings:
      • diffinis – update: diffinis as species complex; splitting off of thetis in 2009, aethra in 2018; potential remaining cryptic species (Schmidt 2009, 2018)
      • thysbe
      • gracilis – do quick lit review; occurrence? decline? extremely spotty distribution + many modern records are unreliable or wrong & actually thysbe or diffinis
      • thetis – Schmidt 2009
      • aethra – created article; needs copyediting
  • Sweat bees
  • Bombus stubs + missing articles
  • Green lacewing subfamilies Apochrysinae and Nothochrysinae
  • Coccinellini

Other

  • Create Natural History of Georgia (U.S. State)
