Hola, @loarie and @kueda! The most recent update to the Pelham catalog now has skippers included under Papilionoidea, but I still wanted to make sure it was okay to commit this change. I already moved Hesperiidae under Papilionoidea, as that's something easily undone if needed. What do you think? Cheers!

Hi! @nlblock
Thanks for doing the "change", you're right, actually Hesperioidea is not a superfamily, now is a familiy of Papilionoidea, in fact, Hesperiidae is sister group of Hedylidae (before Hedyloidea) so... Papilionoidea has 7 families! (check this: http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/royprsb/279/1731/1093.full.pdf )
Regards!
