I followed NZOR (link above), but I'll look into it, thanks for the heads up.
PS: Note that both names were already on the database as if they were independent taxa, so a merge was needed, regardless of which name is the preferred name. After the merge, typing in either name leads to the same taxon page, so that is the most important thing.
It is a good idea to group the observations of this species together. It is much the same with Rosulabryum capillare, which has also been updated from Bryum capillare (which may have been your work - nice). As far as I can tell, this moss was originally Kindbergia, changed to Eurhynchium and then revised back to Kindbergia, but that revision might be a British thing - much like many of the name changes such as Ulota phyllantha = Gemma-something phyllantha have not been adopted by our bryological community yet. Thanks for responding.

As far as I am aware, you have replaced the current name Kindbergia praelonga with the old name Eurhynchium praelongum...
