As discussed at
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Insects#The mystery genus Adaeudora, it doesn't seem like the name has actually been used as a genus name in any actual taxonomic works relating to tachninid flies. It could be a typo of Adejeania, but I'm not sure how plausible it is to typo "Adejeania" as "Adaeudora" normally (even the original author of the article wasn't sure where the name came from anyway), so I think "Adaeudora" should be deleted rather than made into a redirect. Also, as far as I've found, the only other sites on the internet that list this as a genus are themselves copying Wikipedia.

Delete what an interesting AfD! The link shows a thorough before search, and my own before search brings up the same mirrors - no actual possible citations. Could it be a hoax?

Delete would be safer, I think. There seems no clear indication that this is a typo, and we shouldn't perpetuate a mere hunch in that direction. --Elmidae (

Delete Nice to see a bio AfD bought so correctly - properly knowing your stuff (or vastly more energetic checker than I) to spot this one. Delete for now per nom, unless someone finds refs indicating either that it does exist (unlikely) or that it is a typo, in which case move.
