[Taxacom] Drosophila melanogaster name change?

Not neologism, mistake, Curtis. I meant heterophyletic (combining paraphyletic and polyphyletic). OR maybe I was being poetic. That's it, it was inexorable association of sensibilities.

I can't believe you wrote that. Classically, homoplasy refers to traits,
not taxa. Neologism?
