Splitting of Blechnum into several genera is not widely accepted at time. Too many species are involved, no use to follow the new concept too early. A later concept could be different, for example treat some, or all of Gasper et al.'s split genera at subgeneric rank.
Maybe Struthiopteris will be accepted sooner or later, still i liked not to follow at time.
