Taxacom: Carposinoidea or Copromorphoidea?

[Facundo Martín Labarque]

Dear Soowon,

In that case, I will take a look in the papers for a formal taxonomic
transfer of Carposinidae to Copromorphidae. Formal meaning a expressed
written line/section that makes that statement. Otherwise, is a suggestion
and, so, you should maintain both names even if in some analyses the
evidence do not support those groups (non monophyly of one of those
clades). Until someone makes the formal taxonomic transfer or synonymy of
the families, both are valid.

Best,
