    Ernst, about the renaming...doesn't seem that way:

    https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/604565-Castiarina-erythroptera
    https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/604366-Castiarina-rufipennis

    Check the taxonomy tab of each and scroll down. Normally, when two names map to a single species, it will be listed there as such. That doesn't seem to be true in this case. Within iNaturalist, they are considered separate species.     Posted 4 years ago

    That's really neat -- looks so much like a net-winged beetle. Posted 4 years ago
