      Truth. I also need to change the genus on this one. Seems it has been transferred to Pseudothyris. Maybe Ferdy can handle this since there are multiple observations? Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

        Yep, or you could just create a new species record and move the 2 spottings to it...I'm not sure which method Ferdy would prefer though (changing the original record's genus or just relocating them). Posted 5 years ago
