I'm beginning to think that all PT names should be eponymous.  Saves us the 
confusion of having clades named for particular features, even though they 
may contain taxa lacking those features.

When you get right down to it, all you can definitively say about *all* the 
members of a PT taxon is that they are (more or less) closely related to the 
anchor.
