Is chelostomoides not species level?
Thank you for the id. I went to update my identification for this sighting on iNaturalist and they had chelostomoides listed as a species, not a subgenus. I asked the curator there and she wasn't sure, referencing the page below which shows it as a species. I saw here on BugGuide it is shown as a subgenus. The curator added it as a subgenus as well on iNaturalist, but suggested I ask you what is correct.
