Talk:Amiga arnaca

Merge

@Edibobb: Should we merge Chloreuptychia arnaca into this article? If we take the Nakahara et al. article as the basis for this article, Chloreuptychia arnaca is no longer a valid species, right? I'm a copy editor not a biologist, so I thought I check with you about this. Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 21:45, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think it should be merged. The paper is new, but it seems pretty solid, and it only affects one species. I have the information from the old page Chloreuptychia arnaca in the new one (Chloreuptychia arnaca), except a reference which isn't necessary, so it could be replaced with a redirect any time. I wasn't sure whether to do that or request a merge in order to merge the history somehow. (I seem to get it wrong every time I do it.)

On a side note, I only saw your message on Chondrosoma after you had it sorted. I'll be glad to help with the taxonomy templates any time.

I think, technically, the right way to have done it would have been to rename Chloreuptychia arnaca as Amiga (butterfly) and have left a redirect behind at the old location. At this point I'll go ahead and do a merge and see if that meets the need for keeping the history straight. Keep up the good work and thanks again for your offer of help.

And, done. Check it over. I am not confident in how the parentheses should be around the names of the authorities for the synonyms. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 02:48, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me -- thank you! Bob Webster (talk) 18:26, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think the parentheses should be on a species authority (including the date) whenever the species was originally described under a different genus. details Bob Webster (talk) 18:35, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
