The JEs lead with 叔母.
  Comments:
However, Daijirin, GG5 and the other JEs keep them in the one entry, with a note in the case of Daijirin. I think it's probably more useful that way, and certainly more compact.

伯母: 父母の妹
叔母: 父母の姉
  Comments:
Though 親子, 母娘, etc. can be read おやこ we split them apart because the meaning is somewhat different. By the same argument, I think it 
might make sense to split apart 叔母 and 伯母 (and the related entries i.e. 伯母さん).
