More recently, Beu & Maxwell (1987) erected the subfamily Plesiotritoninae to include very high-spired varicate cancellariids with non-collabral axial sculpture that were previously placed in the families Buccinidae, Fasciolariidae and Ranellidae.

1987, Fauna of Australia, volume 5, page 846:

The present paper is a continuation of our study of the deep-water cancellariid fauna of the Southwest Pacific, based on the material originating from recent expeditions in New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Wallis & Futuna, […]

Closely related cancellariid species from California have been observed to feed in this manner, and the deep-water southwestern Florida species may also be a similar suctorial feeder.

Chamaeleonids have carried the trend further; nearly all species have lost or greatly reduced vomeronasal and olfactory systems [Parsons, 1970; Gabe and Saint Girons, 1976] and rely, instead, on vision.

1993, S. Karger, Brain, Behavior and Evolution, volume 41, page 133:

Iguanids apparently were isolated in Africa by epicontinental seas and gave rise to chamaeleonids in the west and agamids in the east; the scincomorphs radiated in Laurussia, giving rise to the teiids in North America and lacertids in Europe.

2007, Thomas T. Veblen, Kenneth R. Young, Antony R. Orme, editors, The Physical Geography of South America, page 119:

Chamaeleonids’ ears have simplified over time, and they are not visible externally, being covered with skin and scales. Unlike other lizards, chamaeleonids possess neither an exterior aperture nor a tympanic membrane, but they share some skeletal and fluid structure similarities with snakes.

2007, M. Campos, Chapter 28: Lacewings in Andalusian olive orchards, P. K. McEwen, T. R. New, A. E. Whittington (editors), Lacewings in the Crop Environment, page 492,
However, numerous studies have been conducted on chrysopids, given that lacewing larvae are major oophagous predators of the olive moth (Montiel Bueno, 1981; Ramos et al., 1983a, b).

Still, the most studied taxa within this order are the chrysopids, and most adult green lacewings are glucophagous to some degree.

coccinellid

If the coccinellid captures one or more aphids, the total time spent on the plant is increased by the time taken to eat the prey, which is proportional to the biomass of the prey.
The numbers of aphids and coccinellids counted on the plot are shown in figure 5.05.

1986, H. G. Andrewartha, The Ecological Web: More on the Distribution and Abundance of Animals, page 90:

Thus aphids are an important factor for coccinellids, but other issues are involved as well. The correlation between aphid and coccinellid abundance is significant, but shows such a high variance that no predictions are possible.

1998, Wolfgang Nentwig, “Weedy Plant Species and Their Beneficial Arthropods: Potential for Manipulation in Field Crops”, in Charles Hammond Pickett, Robert Lyman Bugg, editors, Enhancing Biological Control: Habitat Management to Promote Natural Enemies, page 60:

The above comparative account reveals coccinellids to be more voracious, with both adults and larvae predatory in nature. Also, coccinellids are more fecund than both chrysopids and syrphids and have a longer oviposition period.

Because of their small size and cryptic nature, coniopterygids are generally overlooked and thus considered rare.[…]The life histories of very few coniopterygid species are known.

2009, Catherine A. Tauber, Maurice J. Tauber, Gilberto S. Albuquerque, “Neuroptera (Antlions, Lacewings)”, in Vincent H. Resh, Ring T. Cardé, editors, Encyclopedia of Insects, page 705:

ctenodactylid

Miocene and Pliocene ctenodactylids are known from Asia and Africa. In the Oligocene forms cheek-teeth were brachydont, and all known fossil ctenodactylids retained P 4 and p 4, with these teeth showing various stages of reduction.

1967, Sydney Anderson, Recent Mammals of the World: A Synopsis of Families, page 30:

According to Luckett (1985), Bugge (1985), and George (1985), ctenodactylids are an early offshoot of the hystricognathous rodents. Beintema et al. (1991), stating that no molecular data were available, investigated tissues, blood, and proteins and concluded that it was not yet possible to determine whether ctrnodactylids and hystricognathous rodents "share a common ancestor or are located on separate branches."

2005, Fritz Dieterlen, “Family Ctenodactylidae”, in Don E. Wilson, DeeAnn M. Reeder, editors, Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference, 3rd edition, volume 12, page 1536:

Ctenodactylids share many derived characters with the Hystricognathi, but ctenodactylids retain many primitive features and are considered (along with the Diatomyidae) a possible sister group to hystriognath rodents (Dietrlen 2005; Huchon et al. 2007).

ctenoplectrid

Larval characters should be reanalyzed in light of recent information presented by Michener and Greenberg (1980) that indicates ctenoplectrids are the sister group of the long-tongued bee families (Figure 2).

1989, Ronald J. McGinley, A Catalog and Review of Immature Apoidea (Hymenoptera), page 5:

Obligate parasitism of other bees has arisen in halictids, megachilids, anthophorids, apids, and perhaps a few colletids and ctenoplectrids.

1989, David W. Roubik, Ecology and Natural History of Tropical Bees, published 1992, page 249:

Melittid bees have “hair felt” patches on their legs that take up floral oils by capillarity, while the unusual ctenoplectrids have abdominal oil-mopping hairs.

1992, Diomedes Quintero, Annette Aiello, editors, Insects of Panama and Mesoamerica: Selected Studies, page 450:

Given the abundance of Early Cretaceous records for other families in the dilarid clade as well as the basal phylogenetic position of pleasing lacewings within this lineage, the dilarids are presumably rather ancient, perhaps relict today.

2005, David Grimaldi, Evolution of the Insects, page 353:

The adult morphological data suggest that these events were followed by the separation of two lineages—one that includes the Coniopterygidae + the dilarid-like families and another encompassing the remainder of the hemerobiiform families and another encompassing the remainder of the hemerobiiform families + the Myrmeleontiformia.

He also placed Lepidocybium Gill 1862 as the sister group of all the other gempylids and trichiurids.

1998, The Museum, Contributions in Science, numbers 469-480, page 4:

The larvae most likely to be confused with trichiurids are paralepidids and gempylids.

2000, F. J. Gago, J. M. Leis, T. Trnski, “111: Trichiuridae”, in Jeffrey Martin Leis, Brooke M. Carson-Ewart, editors, The Larvae of Indo-Pacific Coastal Fishes, page 704:

geomyid

Whereas geomyids seem to dominate the montane grassland, microtenes dominated the tallgrass, cricetines dominated the shortgrass and heteromyids dominated the desert grassland site.

1982, L. D. Harris, G. B. Bowman, “6: Vertebrate predator subsystem”, in A. I. Breymeyer, George M. van Dyne, editors, Grasslands, Systems Analysis and Man, page 595:

A second potential problem is the geomyids in their phylogeny are linked more closely to the sciurids than to the muroids, yet several authorities suggest the geomyids should be placed among the muroidomopha (e.g. Eisenberg, 1981).

1999, J. R. Speakman, “The Cost of Living: Field Metabolic Rates of Small Mammals”, in A. H. Fitter, D. G. Raffaelli, editors, Advances in Ecological Research, volume 30, page 226:

Compared with geomyids, little is known about the roles of other subterranean rodents in ecological succession.

1956, Stanford Ichthyological Bulletin, Volume 7, Division of Systematic Biology, Stanford University, page 91,
However, the peculiar Grammicolepididae may be rather closely allied to the Oreosomatidae, and the spikes or hooks seen on the sides of some grammicolepidids (see especially Barnard, 1940, p. 11 and plate, on Xenolepidichthys americanus in South Africa) may be the homologues of the "hills" of Oreosoma.

Only zanclids, caproids, luvarids, menids, grammicolepidids and perhaps siganids and leiognathids have larvae that could be confused with acanthurids.
