It looks as though...

...BG is is treating P. leucopogon as a synonym for P. willistoni. Is that correct?

Yes, technically correct--but

Yes, technically correct--but premature. This is a "new combination" and it has not yet been published. Several other asilids also have new names (all from the Fisher & Wilcox list--used by BG as the default catalog). Please use the 'old' names until this catalog/ list is officially published. (An updated version is in prep--and hopefully will published soon.)

I'll have to think about this.

I definitely don't want to rename the willistoni page, only to have to change it back later. At the same time, I'm not sure I want to create a "temporary" leucopogon page, either.
