No taxon?

Since it is not a species but a species complex, shouldn't we use the "no taxon" page such as Diadasia australis especies group? That is what people have been doing.

Do you think we should create

Do you think we should create a species page on this one?

… Tom Bentley, 15 January, 2009 - 9:23am

yes i do

this seems to be the commonest northeastern 'kind', and at this point the group is a taxonomic mess anyway, so chances to verify the sp. in foreseeable future are evanescent :)

Should I call it R. fasciatus

Should I call it R. fasciatus(complex)...is that ok?

good question

fasciatus complex, of course -- but i'm afraid with both words italicized this may be mistaken for a subspecific name... hyphenation may be a solution, like on this page
