@michaelpirrello : This one actually seems really weird, given that Melanotelus is masculine gender. The taxon history shows that it was originally described as Lygaeus villosulus before to become Lygaeosoma villosula, and eventually Melanotelus villosulus. Lygaeus and Melanotelus are maculine, but Lygaeosoma is feminine. To me, looks more like and accordance that was made in the past with Lygaeosoma, and somehow forgotten to be reversed when switching in some publications.
LSF relies largely on Slater's Catalogue, but this needs to be checked first. Did you review the bibliography before to follow LSF ?
Now we get to the discussion of what it makes more sense to do - use what everyone else is using, or make it technically correct but potentially missed in a specific search. Won't hurt my feelings if you want to swap back to villosulus, but I'm puzzled why EOL would change if they were technically correct to begin with?
I was just asking the question, because this appeared weird. Didn't had the time to check yet. I see what I can do, and I come back to you there after.
The original taxon cited EOL as a source, and EOL has since updated to the revised taxon. This swap brings iNat in line with both lyageoidea.speciesfile.org and EOL.
