Diphlebia euphaeoides, Diphlebia coerulescens

[edit]

Tropical Rockmaster, Cairns

  • Comment: silly hook, but the visualisation of the impossibility of inspecting the underside of its abdomen made me chuckle...

Interesting hook; Couldn't varify it as I can't access the pdf in the Diphlebia coerulescens article (an email to me would help if you have it enabled). There is significant controversy over the name of the tropical rockmaster (Diphlebia euphAeoides or Diphlebia euphOeoides). I changed the name to the latter to make it consistent with the text (and with IUCN and several other sources). I feel this should be addressed before the hook is approved (otherwise we get move wars when it is on the main page...). Technical things (size etc) seem correct.

I missed the 'o' in some of the newer sources. The changeover is straightforward and I'm not fussed about it (see you've done it already). Send me an email and I can send the article in an email back. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:21, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
You've got mail; the changeover to the other name is indeed quite clear. It would -as a sideline- be interesting to see what the reason is for 2 names, whehter the orthographic change was made later for latinization reasons or whether it is a case of bad copy pasting... Unfortunately well sourced websites (as Euzeby has) and a single source for publications (IJSEM) as we have in Microbiology doesn't exist here... L.tak (talk) 22:24, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Green tickY It's good to go. The info is in the source given (complete guide to dragon flies); thus the article is good to go! L.tak (talk) 22:38, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
