Abstract
An online database on the taxonomy of Tydeoidea is described and is available on the Wikispecies platform at https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tydeoidea. It counts 1 324 records or pages, 724 records for the Tydeidae, 334 for the Ereynetidae, 203 for the Iolinidae and 63 for the Triophtydeidae. For each taxon are detailed the parent taxa as well as the child taxa which are listed. A nec subsection lists names of child taxa that are not recommended. Subjective and objective synonymies as well as homonymies are given for each taxon. Notes provide historical aspects of past studies. The type locality and habitat of the name-bearing type and its repository are added for the nominal species-group taxa. Fossil species, species inquirendae and nomina nuda are also reported. References and external links end up a record. Tetranychus viburni Koch is resurrected from synonymy with Tetranychus urticae Koch and placed in Tydeidae; it might be a senior synonym of Tydeus goetzi Schruft. Replacement names are provided for Aureliana and Tydides (homonymy) and for Paratydaeolus clavatus (synonymy).
Highlights
Naming as an ontological process is an old practice known in Western and Middle East cultures and in early Chinese perspective
Naming species is not supposed any longer to be an ontological process for modern biologists and naming conventions are regulated by codes (the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) for animals)
In agreement with ICZN, Tydeoidea https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tydeoidea is usually attributed to Kramer (1877) who advanced the term “Tydidae” for this taxon
Summary
Naming as an ontological process is an old practice known in Western and Middle East cultures (cf. the introduction of the Enûma Eliš, the Babylonian epic composed roughly in the 18th to 16th centuries BCE) and in early Chinese perspective (cf. the beginning of the Tao Te Ching dating back two millennia). Naming species is not supposed any longer to be an ontological process for modern biologists and naming conventions are regulated by codes (the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) for animals).

Some groups are treated such as the Tydeidae (Silva et al 2016) but others, as the Ereynetidae, are neglected
