      I've created an entry for it too. There should be a difference though, otherwise it would not have allowed me to save it. Posted 9 years ago

    I have also uploaded another similar species - Lexias canescens pardalina but it is established as a sub-species.
    Would that create some confusion?     Posted 9 years ago

      No, it is possible to create subspecies as separate entries in the database. They are the same as the species entries and cannot be related to the main species. I would usually prefer to create the main species though and list the subspecies, unless they are really distinct.

        I understand they are distinctively different based on their locations. Posted 9 years ago
