It was formerly included in the massively paraphyletic "wastebin genus" "Oncidium". That genus, in the loose circumscription, eventually became a sort of "wastebin taxon". Before 1939, the Evaniidae were a "wastebin taxon" for any parasitic wasp with unusual morphology. "Rauisuchia" is currently considered an evolutionary grade, or even a wastebin taxon. Unfortunately, confusion about whether Linnaeus' "wastebin genus" "Colymbus" referred to loons or grebes abounded. Many authors favor splitting up the "wastebin genus" "Phalacrocorax". The taxonomy of many species in the "wastebin genus" "Barbus" has recently been re-evaluated. They were formerly placed in the "wastebin" Old World warbler family. With almost 200 species included at one time, "Xestia" was something of a "wastebin genus".
