Classification
I created a new species page in our current hierarchy. I posted a forum topic(1) concerning the promotion of Dryophthoridae to family so BugGuide's beetle experts can discuss.

ID correction
Sphenophorus sp. I will get the specific name later. I misientified the weevil as Scyphophorus acupunctatus by not carefully checking my ID against my collection. It was a lapsus, but mistakes do occur and cannot always be avoided.

My error
I apologize for the error in my earlier ID's but the only way I know to avoid all errors is to do nothing. I am pleased that I could correct the error so soon.
