Mixosauria → Mixosauridae – Mixosauria is a junior synonym of Mixosauridae. (Moon, 2017; Maisch & Matzke, 2000) Recent phylogenies have favored the older name Mixosauridae, (Ji et al., 2016; Moon, 2017) as have studies on mixosaurids, using "mixosaurian" only as an informal term with less frequency. (Some examples: , , , , ) Maisch (2010) is therefore rather unusual in using Mixosauria to refer to Wimanius + Mixosauridae, and no justification is given for this change in definition. Wimanius itself is a poorly known taxon (Yin et al., 2021) whose mixosaurian status is by no means certain, and is often recovered as a merriamosaur nowadays. (i.e. Moon, 2017; Pardo-Pérez, et al., 2020) Therefore, it seems that the title for this article should be Mixosauridae, rather than Mixosauria. --Slate Weasel[Talk - Contribs]16:41, 7 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
