Fixed

Something similar was happening with another family recently. Does this ring a bell for any other curators?

Problem taxa need to be reindexed. This can be done by making an edit and saving them. Quickest seems to be turning the Wikipedia link off and back on again. See:
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/observations-of-some-genera-of-nerioidea-appearing-while-searching-for-diopsoidea/24989/8

I've done that for all 10 species showing up here (should go down to 15), but they haven't disappeared yet. Usually only takes a few minutes so hopefully it's fixed when I wake up. :)

The species have disappeared from the observations page, but 3 gerera and 2 subgenera have appeared. I've toggled the auto description...

Those looked fixed but there were 2 new genera and a subfamily. Then those were fixed and there's a new subfamily…

This split probably caused the recent ones, and may continue to cause problems because it was so large:
