2 years and this taxon is still twice in the iNat database. Dear Curators please take action!
Should be merged into this taxon and added as synonym:
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/202550-Myscelia-aracynthia
https://www.gbif.org/species/6230430
Epiphile aracynthia Dalman, 1823 is the basionym of M. antholia and of M. aracynthia.
Agreed, see https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/56/2017/05/McGuire-AME087.pdf
"The species has been commonly referred to as M. antholia, e.g. Hall
(1925), Riley (1975) and Gall and Schwartz (1983). However, M aracynthia was published in 1823, one year earlier than M. antholia by Godart [1824] which is synonymized. "
Butterflies of America is the reference list we use here in iNat isnt it?
they list this species as Myscelia aracynthia
https://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/myscelia_aracynthia.htm
Which means the two names should be merged.
