Taxonomic Swap 91277 (Guardado el 08/04/2021)

Unfortunately the Global Scarabs Database is now paywalled. My understanding is CoL which feeds into GBIF had access to the taxonomy in there until 2020, and as such am going with the GBIF accepted name for now as the primary name, but ensuring both remain searchable.

I recognize there are conflicting treatments in the literature as to if Nimbus is properly defined as a genus or a subgenus. The site does not reference any authority in this group. Change is meant solely to get all species consistently named and placed.

If someone else believes the placement should be at the subgenus level, then please ensure all associated species are updated.

I still see nothing of this name change in https://www.nederlandsesoorten.nl/linnaeus_ng/app/views/species/nsr_taxon.php?id=152458&cat=&epi=1 or https://waarneming.nl/species/8532/ nor on https://www.kerbtier.de/ or https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Nimbus%20contaminatus&title=Speciaal%3AZoeken&fulltext=1&ns0=1

Wikipedia is not a reliable source, especially when you get into different language versions. The English page on Wikipedia for Nimbus treats it as a genus, not a subgenus for example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimbus_(beetle)

As I stated in the comments, this change is not intended to be a statement on which of the competing views on the placement of Nimbus is correct. There are sources that treat it as a genus, others that treat it as a subgenus. It is intended to at least get all species within the group consistently named and placed.

I see this: https://is.gd/Qxw7ff for Aphodius cantaminatus conjunctus and this https://is.gd/I4WeBM for Nimbus contaminatus. So Aphodius casarum as synonym. I would be logical, in my opinion, to use a name that is widely used and accepted and thus searchable on the internet. Searching for Nimbus gives mostly nothing. This beetle was a big nuisance the last two years in the east of The Netherlands: https://is.gd/sFoDAV
