Talk:Pauropoda

Blind?

The article says both that pauropods are blind, and that they are "shy of light". It can't really be both, can it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CarlFink (talk • contribs) 14:44, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Which names of orders?

The lead paragraph and taxobox are not consistent with the text with respect to the order-level circumscription of the class. Pauropodina or Hexamerocerata & Tetramerocerata? The latter two are what Ruggiero et al use, which seems like a good default choice. DCDuring (talk) 16:06, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

As Col, Tol, and Wikispecies uses the latter, I am changing the lead. Stikkyy (talk) 18:26, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, Stikkyy. For reference, the most recent and authoritative taxonomic sources are probably found in the following:
