Zanclognatha gypsalis-minoralis-theralis complex

There is currently a "Zanclognatha n-sp - Zanclognatha new species - Hodges#8354.97" page. My impression is that this is what is what is referred to as Zanclognatha gypsalis-minoralis-theralis complex by Wagner & McCabe in there paper "A new Zanclognatha from eastern North America and a preliminary key to the larvae of the genus..." here.

Peter Homann has several Z. minoralis like examples from Florida which I have moved to Zanclognatha n-sp. Not sure if this move is correct but I am pretty sure that they are part of that complex. There are six Z. minoralis and two Z. theralis species pages at BOLD and his seems to fit Z. minoralis best. Perhaps theralis and Zanclognatha n-sp should be nested in a Zanclognatha gypsalis-minoralis-theralis complex page and Peter's images moved to the complex level.

Maybe there should be a Z. cr
Maybe there should be a Z. cruralis-obscuripennis page also?

Update
I made a cruralis or obscuripennis here last month and placed all the submissions which had not been identified there. I'm leaving images already moved to species by others until I hear back from an expert I emailed.

I also made a jacchusalis or marcidilinea page for a few images that seemed intermediate between the two.

I updated all the species info pages for Zanclognatha and checked each species for ID errors. I also moved everything out of the genus page that I could confidently identify. If you see mistakes or have questions, let me know.

Thanks, Steve
I moved one of my photos to the species page last night, because I never did feel comfortable with the ID. I'm now going to move it to the cruralis or obscuripennis page.

Oops
Just saw that you've already moved it - thanks.
