Order Ephemerida (Noun)
Meaning
Mayflies.
Classification
Nouns denoting animals.
Examples
- The mayflies belong to the order Ephemeroptera which is also known as order Ephemeroidea or order Ephemeroidea including suborders within classification revisions to order Ephemerida, however, the preferred order classification is order Ephemeroptera.
- The order Ephemerida is an order within mayflies which includes more ancient classifications of fossil evidence which was initially a suborder of order Ephemeroptera.
- By taxonomic principles the initially discovered fossil specimens of order Ephemerida can have their classification, description revised based on later discoveries so as some species belonging to order Ephemerida is revised from one classification, suborder to one classification Ephemeroptera.
- Ancient classification systems still stated and suborders noted were under order Ephemerida which can possibly cause the confusion as revised taxonomy systems clearly determine order Ephemeroptera and Ephemeroidea as a primary order and do not consider order Ephemerida since some species would end to fall in Pannota order suborder or fossil evidence.
- New fossil specimens discovered required an in-depth reassessment, taxonomic change from the known specimens of order Ephemerida their specimens were reassigned to that as order Ephemeroptera is valid and noted for modern biology textbooks
