Vassili and Tom Murray are fine with this
Let's wait a few days to see if anyone disagrees.

If the consensus is that we should make this change
it will take some work. The images of castor will need to be moved and John VanDyk will have to make a redirect from castor to pericarpius and the Info pages for pericarpius and for Rhinoncus will have to be edited. Are there different subspecies? We assume that there were some differences which allowed the images to be placed on the different pages.
Let this sit here for a week or so to get comments. Then we will move the images and contact John VanDyk.
