Taxon split completed

Is the link correct?

Just to note, there was discussion on the page for the taxon change, and some have suggested that an additional step involving atlasing could now also be used. The first taxon change I already made was a taxon swap. For this reason I'll unresolve the flag for now.

My apologies; posted the wrong link it should be Pyrcz TW, Florczyk K, Collins S, Sáfián S, Mahecha-J O, Lachowska-Cierlik D. Alpha-taxonomy and phylogeny of African Junoniini butterflies based on morphological data, with an emphasis on genitalia, and COI barcode (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). Zootaxa. 2021 Jun 24;4991(3):401-433. doi: 10.11646/zootaxa.4991.3.1. PMID: 34186836.

Thanks. So essentially, it's been suggested that a taxon split now be used for the observations that were just identified as the species rather than identified as a subspecies. Typically if possible and if known, it seems best for users who make taxon requests to summarize the needed changes in addition to linking a source, to ensure the curators implementing it know what changes to make and to help speed up the process. Which in this case would mean noting what observations located where should be split as what subspecies. I actually haven't re-checked this source recently, so it's unclear to me. Additional curators are also welcome to make the final change.

Brian:

You unresolved this flag. But before that there was this:

[also see discussion below map.]

 
I don't understand what's going on here. Is there really anything else to be done?

Cheers,

I previously completed the first step, and I hadn't received clear instructions for the remaining steps. jakob said there is another step, so I unresolved the flag so that any curators could complete the remaining step.

The taxon split was done a while ago https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/124510

Okay, that's good.
