Moved
Moved from Aphodius aegrotus.

 
from aegrotus to aegrotus?
confused...

 
from subgenus Blackburneus to Alloblackburneus
Guide had same species in both subgenera, moved from Aphodius (B.) aegrotus to Aphodius (A.) aegrotus and deleted old combination

 
i see...
why didn't you simply move the species page from Blackburneus to Alloblackburneus?

 
because BOTH were in the guide
as I mentioned "Guide had same species in both subgenera." - most of the images were on the correct guidepage, so I simply moved the few that weren't and deleted that obsolete page.

 
oh... didn't realize that; sorry, Phil.
as it turns out, the system does not prevent homonymous sp. pages within the same genus but under different 'no taxon' subdivisions...

 
no apology needed
ever - appreciate all your hard work!

neat. thanx guys.
