Petty whin?

@Edibobb: I couldn't find a source to support the common name "petty whin". Where'd you find that? Thanks SchreiberBike | ⌨ 22:51, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It came from eol.org. Here's the record below. Looking on Google just now, I didn't see that name with this moth (although it is listed with a casebearer moth). Do you think I should remove it?

They also misspelled Broad-lined Erastr[i]a. I had to remove that duplicate today when I posted. I wondered where that came from too, but I was too lazy to track it down.

I see it now at http://eol.org/pages/315304/names/common_names. They source it to NatureServe Threatened Species, but I can't find any support for it. I suspect it's an error or very rare. It's also the name of a plant. I'd suggest removing it. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 23:35, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
