 * Looks like a stammered version of . Planorbididn‘t and doesn’t. --Lambiam 03:30, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * There are other family names that have endings idid, ididae. But this one seems like an error descended from a 1982 work. The type genus does not have inflected forms that build on Planorbid-, but rather on Planorb-. DCDuring (talk) 05:39, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * A good example is Ascarididae (type genus Ascaris, stem ascarid-). DCDuring (talk) 05:48, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * ... while Planorbis is from +, and the stem of orbis is orb(i)- without a d. Forms containing Planorbid- stem from a linguistically false analogy.  --Lambiam 09:24, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I think I'd written that above. Foolishly, I was reacting to your stuttering comment. DCDuring (talk) 13:11, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, there are examples of both terms for taxonomic families ending in -id and -idid (-idae and -ididae) being in use, apparently because the etymologically correct doubled form was thought wrong and sounded silly. DCDuring (talk) 13:36, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
