Moved from subgenus Anchicera.

It is quite a long time, I had the honour to write a new guide page here - hello, folks!

It was triggered by a recent observation posted on iNaturalist.org, I have identified: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/3599803
I wonder why this distinctive species has so few records in N.-America; if anyone knows more - I'm curious!
