Thanks - it looks like this was carved off of https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/31308-Acanthosaura-crucigera?
If so we probably need to split Acanthosaura crucigera
Can you draw a line on the current Acanthosaura crucigera map similar to how I've done here:
https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/507004#activity_comment_f8787185-5c16-44ee-87fa-01437523fc3b
that will make it clear where the narrowed Acanthosaura crucigera stops and the new Acanthosaura meridiona begins
many thanks!
OK I went ahead and split this https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/105364
which involved narrowing the taxon_ranges and also creating atlases
I also updated the deviation to include Acanthosaura crucigera to reflect that we're narrowing what RD means by Acanthosaura crucigera https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_framework_relationships/598649
Its fine to deviate from RD, but please make sure to do all these steps rather than just adding a new taxon as it creates weird overlap and confusion in what we mean by species
thanks!

I'm very sorry for my incomplete edit. Now I know the whole steps. My english is not very good some of the content maybe i don't fully understand through translation. And I'm still learning what you edited recently and how to use QGIS and will try to complete the other steps needed.
happy to help and appreciate all your work curating
@naydin do you have a source for this? If you're adding species not in Reptile Database please mark them with a deviation (as I've done here) and explain how they relate to the sister species in RD (e.g. wholly new, or split off from such and such)
