Talk:Insecta

Apterygota/Pterygota

The subclass Apterygota is now considered as an unnatural group since the Zygentoma are more closely related to the Pterygota than to the Archaeognatha. The correct systematic would be :

Monocondylia

Archaeognatha

Dicondylia

Zygentoma

Pterygota

I didn't changed it on the Insecta page since the site isn't really adapted for such systematic...

Alternative Classification

The classification used on this site for the Insecta is useful, but not totally correct. Here a more recent classification that can't really be adapted for Wikispecies :

I am aware Ectognatha is being used today. As I understand it, it is a full synonym of Insecta, and therefore there's not a real need to change the word, except for the fact that Insecta had a different meaning a few years ago. Insecta is still used, and I think wikispecies is right to keep using it, for now.

For the taxonomic suggestions... I don't know again. There's a lot going in, as you saw with Araneae, and I don't know either what is best. I would suggest to not change anything till Lycaon is back from 'the bottom of the ocean'. Then you discuss your ideas with him. --Kempm 11:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)Add every specie could be found
