In the blog mentioned, Rod picks up that there is a problem with the Wikipedia style page URL e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latreillia in the case of genus level homonyms (in this instance: Diptera or Brachyura?), where it is possible to go to the wrong instance, and does in this case, following  a link from the crab family page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latreilliidae .

I fixed that one.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latreillia now is a 
disambiguation page.

Could you do a data analysis for Wikipedia?  Identify all the names
on your list of 68730 that on Wikipedia are not disambiguation pages?
The result would be a project for Wikipedia's "disambiguous" editors
to tackle.
