As mentioned by @derhennen here https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/139926#activity_comment_9b38daae-4112-42ed-aa90-4c4c4c1d7d3f ok to deviate from Millibase by lumping Narceus oklahomae and Narceus tinctorius into Narceus americanus?

Source for the synonymy can be found in Hoffman RL (1999) Checklist of the millipedes of North and Middle America. Virginia Museum of Natural History Special Publication 8: 1–584, who cites Keeton, William T. (1960). A taxonomic study of the milliped family Spirobolidae (Diplopoda; Spirobolida). Memoirs of the American Entomological Society 17: 1–146., available online here: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/120082#page/3/mode/1up

Great thanks swapped and deviated https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/96950
that makes the Narceus issue slightly more tractable at least
