for now, I think you could just put it into the

species page. I'm not sure how "real" the subspecies even is, but it does "look" pretty distinctive. I can make a subspecies page, but I'm not sure (since there are only a few photos of the species itself) if it's worth while until there are more photos

Okay

Thanks for your help. I have moved it to species page for now.

looks like a female

of Nomotettix cristatus ssp. compressus

Thanks for the ID

There does not appear to be a guide page for this subspecies, should I request that one be created?
