@mdoering : Personidae in GBIF is here, misclassified as Insecta:
https://www.gbif.org/species/7070

There is an invalid family level homonym in Insecta, but the correct classification (for most of the contained genera) should be Mollusca, as per these IRMNG records:

Personidae Gray, 1854 · Animalia (Kingdom) > Mollusca (Phylum) > Gastropoda (Class) > Littorinimorpha (Order) > Personidae (Family) https://www.irmng.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=106977

Personidae Novokshonov, 1995 † accepted as · Animalia (Kingdom) > Arthropoda (Phylum) > Insecta (Class) > Insecta incertae sedis (Order) > Personidae (Family) https://www.irmng.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=11916617

In IRMNG, the only genus to be allocated to the instance in Insecta is Persona Novokshonov, 1995 † (junior homonym), all others are Mollusca.

In case this helps - Tony

Hi Tony, Thanks for your explanation, but is GBIF going to correct this as they keep interpreting it wrongly? Regards Frans François J.A. Slieker BSc. - Honorary Head Curator Invertebrates Natural History Museum Rotterdam

I will make sure GBIF has this right in our next backbone due in ~2 weeks

@yroskov COL actually has both families accepted: https://www.catalogueoflife.org/data/search?facet=rank&facet=issue&facet=status&facet=nomStatus&facet=nameType&facet=field&limit=50&offset=0&q=Personidae&sortBy=taxonomic

The insect family has a single fossil species included with a great name, Persona incognita

[yroskov]

CoL: I just can confirm that both families exist in source datasets:
http://grylloblattodea.speciesfile.org/Common/basic/Taxa.aspx?TaxonNameID=1221748
https://www.molluscabase.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=23090

I have changed status of †Personidae Novokshonov, 1995 from Grylloblattodea Species File to "provisionally accepted" in CoL.
