Sorry to answer my own question:
The "embeddedin" query is what I needed to produce the same results as "What links here" with transclusions shown. My query should have been: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=embeddedin&eitit...
Cheers! Karl

Hello,
I am trying to figure out why there is a discrepancy between the number of backlinks produced via the API versus the main web interface:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Tax... -> produces 100 results, with more pages available
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=backlinks&bltitl... -> produces only 48 results (ending in "Leaf-mimic katydid")
Is there something wrong with my query string?
Thanks, Karl
