Thanks for posting this Sue!
Here is a link to the aforementioned facebook discussion, for the record: https://tinyurl.com/ycw2j6w8

I'm not familiar with this group, so I'll leave it here until someone with more expertise decides to move it - Doug's ID was fairly tentative, but if he or anyone else feels strongly that it should be moved to the species level, then I will happily defer to their judgement.
