After that tip
I was able to figure it out -- before peeking at the info page! Thanks, Belov.

BTW, you have been forging bugguide.net into a formidible resource. I'm glad you have the time and incentive, AND EXPERTISE, to do what you're doing.

After I get to South America I'd like to start a similar site, probably in three languages, that serves all of Latin America, including Mexico and the Caribbean.

having such a site would be a colossal idea
you will have to muster help from entomologists all around the world to pull that off; formidable task, man...
