ha, you are right, it never ends. I take it the number is the same, because is there is no such name in Hodges. My only question, as usual, when and how does all this name changing trickle down to "us regular folk" lol

It Just Trickled Down....
.... Debbie follows the latest world-wide revision/checklist for Pterophoridae. It's a volume of a World Catalogue of Insects (Gielis 2003). Links on Plate 30 at MPG and also on Debbie's website. Generic moves are many for North American species.
