Yes... that was my suggestion to IUCN.
any chance you could do another one of those screen distribution map drawings like you made for campi?
Can you see that? These maps will be more complicated but also the borders are better established so I can help with that. I would elevate nitidus / orarius / petersi at this point because that paper should be published shortly.
While I think we should get the maps and new taxa ready, I think it would be premature to commit the change until the descriptions are published. If we get the taxon changes mapped out and ready, we can pull the trigger quickly on publication.
Thanks. OK I split off E. orarius https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/84664 but I agree with sandboa that we should hold off on the others until they are published / incorporated into ASW
Agreed! Cool.
@sonoran and @sandboa - what about this one?
ASW split off E. orarius from E. nitidus

should we follow? If so any insight into distributions?
