to anyone stumbling upon this based on the N. miliaris ID's I've recently made:
Negosiana miliaris sensu stricto is a species quite distinct from what has been previously called N. miliaris. We've been aware of this for some time, but only recently have we determined the true name of the species we're seeing (thanks to @joelkits): Curtara insularis. N. miliaris is only truly known from the holotype female collected in Mexico—we cannot really confirm that this species is present in the United States. Images of this holotype are present on BugGuide. On the other hand, Curtara insularis is a widespread Caribbean species (which has an identical sequence and morphology to another Argentine species—suggesting an even larger range) that was first recorded in Florida 11 years ago. Curtara and Negosiana are morphologically very similar—it is possible that the genera are recently diverged due to geographic isolation, but it is suspected by some experts that the two genera should be merged. Curtara generally has a shorter head and heavier mottling of the wings than Negosiana, but many of the morphologically diverse neotropical species resemble our temperate Negosiana in head length. In the coming weeks, @hopperdude215 and I will finalise this taxon change from N. miliaris to C. insularis; in the mean time this swap will remain as a draft until the changes across the sites can be coordinated to occur synchronously.
חילוקי דעות לא מכוונים מתרחשים כאשר הורה (B) עובר דילול באמצעות החלפת צאצא (E) אל חלק אחר בעץ הטקסונומי, מה שגורם לזיהויים קיימים של ההורה להתפרש כחילוקי דעות עם זיהויים קיימים של הצאצא שהוחלף.
Identification
זיהוי 2 של טקסוןE יהיה חילוקי דעות לא מכוונים עם זיהוי 1 של טקסון B לאחר החלפת הטקסון
אם דילול של הורה גורם ליותר מ-10 חילוקים דעות לא מכוונים, כדאי לך לפצל את ההורה לאחר החלפת הצאצא כדי להחליף זיהויים קיימים של הורה (B) בזיהויים לא סותרים.
