Scaralis, etc.Hi. Two things: (1) If you've had a chance to read our paper carefully, you'll note that we attempted to highlight the chaotic state of the higher classification of fulgorids. Many genera, tribes, and subfamilies that are used in the present consensus classification are clearly not good groups, and it will take many years and lots of DNA sequencing to get things settled properly. While it is not the focus of our paper, the point is that the present classification is based solely on morphology, and it is obvious that similar-looking fulgorids can be very distantly related to one another. For example, you had commented elsewhere, as I recall, that some species of Pyrops and Saiva looked very similar and you thought they should be in a separate genus, grouped together. If the only evidence is appearance, I would not trust that your suggested group is going to hold up to scrutiny, should anyone test the hypothesis by doing DNA sequencing. It might, but it easily might not. (2) There are very few morphological differences between Scaralis picta and Scaralis neotropicalis, and they are extremely subtle, such as the more extensive black on the hindwings of picta, and the bi-colored apical wing membrane in picta. The one very easy way to tell them apart is that picta is from South America, and neotropicalis is not. The images in iNaturalist that are from Central America and IDed as picta are pretty certainly neotropicalis, or possibly obscura, but I'm not going to argue the point at this stage of things; there is no existing key to the genus, and it has never been revised. I would expect that if someone does a DNA analysis, these two species will probably either be the same, or they will be sister taxa. Dyanega (talk) 14:59, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
If you don't have access to the necessary resources, then you should restrict yourself to making edits for which you DO have proper sources available. There is a reason that most of the links to invertebrate species in Wikipedia do not have associated articles (i.e., they are mostly "redlinks"). Very few of us have a combination of access to the primary literature, AND the time and energy to provide text for Wikipedia articles. You, personally, are not in a position to propose new synonymies or taxon names, or make any other edits to Wikipedia that are not based on published and accepted information. If you want to do something constructive, then the first thing to do is make sure that the classification in Wikipedia matches the classification in the World Auchenorrhyncha Database. The WAD contains sufficient information to allow you to give a stub-level article for each genus, and that would be plenty for Wikipedia. Don't try to provide articles for every species. Please note that for genus names that match other article title in Wikipedia, the proper disambiguator is "Xxxxx (planthopper)", not "(insect)" or "(genus)" (see, e.g. Acmonia (planthopper). It's great that you're so enthusiastic, but there are limits to what you can (and should) contribute to Wikipedia, and policies and practices you need to become familiar with, such as proper methods of formatting, linking, citing, building taxoboxes, assigning categories, and so forth. Take your time, learn from existing examples. Peace, Dyanega (talk) 14:51, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Amantia peruana infasciata moved to draftspaceThanks for your contributions to Amantia peruana infasciata. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and subspecies must be significantly notable for inclusion. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while. Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. UtherSRG (talk) 11:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

SubspeciesWhile species are assumed to be notable, and therefore valid articles, subspecies must have proven notability to be an article. I strongly suggest you merge Amantia peruana infasciata and Amantia peruana peruana into Amantia peruana before they get deleted. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:14, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

In this case, the word "sultana" is not a Latin or Greek adjective. It therefore never changes spelling, as only Latin or Greek adjectives are treated under the ICZN as declinable. If you want to claim that "sultana" is a Latin or Greek adjective, then you have to find a Latin or Greek dictionary that states it is an adjective, and cite it.

Liang in 1998 restored dimotus as a valid species, reversing the synonymy by Nagai & Porion. The name sapphirinus is still considered a synonym. Constant did not revise it in 2015; he revised a different species group and only mentioned Nagai & Porion's synonymy in passing, without either supporting it or refuting it. Just because he cited the synonymy is not evidence that he agrees or disagrees with the synonymy. Dyanega (talk) 16:10, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Please stop making changes to classifications without confirmationHi. You have recently made several edits that go beyond what editors are permitted to do, and you need to consider ASKING whether an edit is correct and appropriate before you make a change. Why? Because you're frequently acting on your own personal opinion, and not following published sources. There are very strict policies in Wikipedia that prohibit original research and synthesis - PLEASE read WP:NOR and become familiar with it. You cannot, for example, read a molecular phylogeny paper that suggests a group is not monophyletic, and then edit Wikipedia to reclassify things - the paper you are citing has to be the source for an explicit change in classification, you cannot yourself take that extra step, if the authors of the paper did not. Likewise, you should not, at your own personal initiative, start deleting or changing scientific names because you think they aren't valid. If a synonymy isn't published, you can't synonymize it yourself. Also, for your reference, there are hundreds of family-rank names in use that are based on genus names that are synonyms. A genus name has to be unavailable for it to not be viable as the basis of a family-rank name; just being a synonym changes nothing. The easiest way for you to avoid problems like this is to ask for advice BEFORE you attempt to make edits. I and other editors like Uther are willing to help, but it's better to ask first than it is to make a change and then have one of us revert it. You'll learn more when you work with other editors, rather than acting purely on your own initiative. Dyanega (talk) 18:36, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
I've gone in and edited the three pages affected by the Pyropsini change; Fulgoridae, Fulgorinae, and Aphaeninae. You should take a look to see how those changes were made and cited. Dyanega (talk) 16:22, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for August 29Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hariola, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Maluku. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.) It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:54, 29 August 2024 (UTC) prohibition on original research in WikipediaHi. Your recent edits suggest that you are unaware that editors are prohibited from doing original research regarding article content. If there are no published sources that have synonymized Kalidasa lui or Kalidasa mytiliae, then Wikipedia cannot be edited to suggest that they are synonyms. Your personal opinion cannot be used as the basis of edits; only published sources. You need to review the policies at WP:NOR and WP:RS and become familiar with them. Continued abuse of editing privileges runs the risk of losing editing privileges altogether. You may find this frustrating because you think you "know better", but that's not how Wikipedia works. Stick to published sources, and learn how to cite them. That's how to be a good Wikipedia editor. Dyanega (talk) 17:39, 4 September 2024 (UTC) ArbCom 2024 Elections voter messageHello!
