Why not
move this to species?

Because there are 23 species ...
listed in this genus in our range and I don't know what they all look like. And to narrow it down by range I need to look all of them up as the individual ranges narrowed down by state is not yet included on our info tab. I fill that info out occasionally but it's time consuming. Being placed to genus doesn't necessarily mean it won't eventually be moved to species.
