 * I can find nothing to support either of the supplied definitions, but it is definitely a genus of insect:

and possibly also a type of elk: I even found a mispelling of edifice (don't you love spell checkers)? Kiwima (talk) 06:10, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * A genus should be at Edaphus, not here, and would usually be under Translingual rather than English. Spinning Spark  11:13, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * There is apparently a specific epithet distinct from the genus name. That would not be capitalized. DCDuring TALK 11:41, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * (after edit conflict) Your first cite to lowercase edaphus is referring to Gallius edaphus. I have no idea what that is (other than it has spicules) but we do not usually give entries for species specific names.  Compare Escherichia coli and coli.  The cite to Cervus edaphus is pretty certainly a scanno for Cervus elaphus (the red deer).  Elk used to be considered a subspecies of C. elaphus.  See the search "Cervus elaphus" elk on scholar.

 * I have added an entry for Edaphus, using three cites from above that seem unambiguously of the genus. DCDuring TALK 12:18, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Failed. — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:27, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
