Diptera are usually flies

[bomeara]

Entering 'THE NEARCTIC SPECIES OF TENDIPEDINI - DIPTERA, TENDIPEDIDAE (= CHIRONOMIDAE)' via the API resolves Diptera (flies) as Saxifraga (a flower):

Homonyms are tough, but given the other words are for fly groups, it's odd it went with flowers rather than flies.

you are right @bomeara, homonyms are tricky, all_matches=true would return also matches to Diptera, but the result would be 'muddy'. I wonder if a solution would be to add a filter limiting results to certain higher taxon, in this case Animalia? Such option (tx:) exists for example in https://github.com/gnames/gnverifier#advanced-search-query-language
