Genus in speciesbox redirects to Family

I just made a page for Haplotrema minimum . The automatic speciesbox lists Haplotrematidae as the genus, even if I manually enter Haplotrema. Any idea how to fix this redirect? EponineBunnyKickQueen (talk) 05:00, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

:Never mind! I figured out how to fix the template. EponineBunnyKickQueen (talk) 05:07, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

:: I've changed the taxonomy template parents so Haplotrema is placed in family Haplotrematidae and superfamily Haplotrematoidea following WoRMS/MolluscaBase.  —  Jts1882 | talk  08:39, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

''[[Nembrotha lineolata]]'' first sentence

Hi gastropod enthusiasts. I encountered the article on Nembrotha lineolata and was confronted with this first sentence:

:Nembrotha lineolata is a species of nudibranch, a sea slug, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae.

I looked at the other Nembrotha species, and they mostly have variations of this first sentence (though some{{snd}}like Nembrotha aurea{{snd}}put "sea slug" before "nudibranch"). Many other nudibranch articles have similar first sentences as well.

To me, this sentence feels rather clunky. I don't think it's necessary to know that this species is a nudibranch and a sea slug and a marine gastropod and a mollusk and in the family Polyceridae. But I have no experience with writing gastropod articles. So I'm asking here: Should this sentence be trimmed, and if so, how should it be written instead? Also, should "marine" link to Ocean, Marine life, or something else entirely? For reference, here's a link to the lone FA-class gastropod article, Laevistrombus canarium.

''Drymaeus poecilus'' GA nomination

Hello everyone!

After spending some time working on it, I’ve decided to nominate Drymaeus poecilus for Good Article (GA) status. This is a significant step, especially given how little is known about the species, and about Drymaeus as a whole. I'm excited to give it a shot! I’ll do my best to provide any additional information the reviewers might need. Feel free to jump in as a reviewer, or lend a hand in promoting the article. Your support is very welcome!
