[Taxacom] Aenetus versus Achladaeus

[Ian Kitching]

We have every intention of maintaining the card images, even if they say something different to what the classification/taxon tree says (which could be corrections or errors).

Incidentally, we are also preparing to move the HOSTS database to a scratchpad, so the same community input will be sought there to in due course.

Cheers,

Ian

And, yes, in the current offline version of LepIndex, Aenetus is the
valid name, as we updated that group from Gaden Robinson's checklist
and the Moths of Australia Checklist.

Whatever you do, please keep the "raw card index with images" available. It is about only existing source for an amateur like me to start finding the original literature references. Occasionally there are some are errors or cryptic references, but at least it gives some hints from where to look (using BHL/Internet archive).

I second that, it’s the ability to discover the supporting literature that makes LepIndex valuable.
