Title
There's a lot of things wrong with this article. Even though the article is about the genus, the taxobox ends on species. B. septata redirects to the planet. I cleaned it up (somebody literally wrote "soft-bodyed"), but it was very confusing.
I think I wrote "soft-bodyed" because I sometimes write very fast and I don't check the spelling. Also, the thing about the article being about the genus ,and yet shows the species is (probably) not a problem because the species also needs to be listed in the Taxobox. I will be adding the septata part.

@
Rugoconites Tenuirugosus: the lede of an article about a monotypic genus needs to name the genus. The standard phrasing "X is a [genus of... in the family...]. It contains the single species X y." Then after that you are welcome to keep focus on the species, if suitable. You cannot set up the lede by completely ignoring the fact that the article name is the genus name.
Re
Asparagusus' point above: there is nothing wrong with using a speciesbox template for monotypic taxa - you can either do that or use the automatic taxobox at genus level while adding a type species parameter. Both approaches have thousands of live article examples. --Elmidae (

A discussion about whether or not the page should be moved to being Bonata instead of Bonata (animal). I've come up with an idea of naming the article after the species so that way the female name "bonita" and the minor planet wouldn't be confused with the species itself. If there are any problems to that idea please join the discussion on this talk page.

The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus is against moving outright to Bonata, but there does appear to be consensus for creating a DAB there. Feel free to open a new RM for a disambiguator change; I don't see any consensus on that. (

Bonata (animal) →
Bonata – The page Bonata is currently a redirect to a minor planet entry. There is no possibility of the current subject to have a full article. However, the animal genus already has an article, but at an awkward disambiguation. The animal genus should move, but retain the hatnote for the minor plant. Also see
here the animal genus has more pageviews than the minor plant.

Responding to my own comment: I also have the idea of putting the name of the species up instead of the genus so that way the hatnote for Bonita and The minor planet would possibly be removed.

This would actually be the preferred way of handling it - disambiguation of monotypic genera is done by using the specific name, as YorkshireExpat knows because they fixed it in a couple of my pagemoves recently :) --Elmidae (

I've just realised that the editors which are probably going to find this page are going to move it to yet again being "Bonata" instead of "bonata septata". I don't know if they will, but they'll probably do.

Oppose per 64.229.88.43. There is no primary topic, and thus
Bonata itself should be a disambiguation page. Lacking an independent article does not disqualify the article-less subject from competing with those with articles for primary topic status. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (
