Article title

The article title has been moved to Pelmatoplaninini. This name however, I believe to be misformed and should be spelt as Pelmatoplanini instead. The taxon was first described as the subfamily Pelmatoplaninae and when it was downgraded to a tribe, a typo (the extra "-in") appears to have been introduced. I have written the editors of the original source (The Turbellarian Taxonomic Database) from which all other sources (ie. WoRMS, ITIS, EoL, GBIF etc.) rely to see if they will correct it, but in the mean time have not used the unsourced name instead as this would then violate WP:OR. This error extends through to the taxonomy templates and related taxa pages (sigh). Loopy30 (talk) 17:05, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
