Thanks very much for the info - in addition to our own institutional 
database, I've gone in and updated Wikipedia's numerous references to 
Axiidae and Axioidea to reflect the change. Now someone has to rename 
the sphingid subfamily Macroglossinae!! (junior homonym of fruit bat 
subfamily Macroglosssinae - James Adams once wrote ICZN and they said 
to simply ignore it!!)    ;-)

Peace,
