Adding a taxon not in the database

General

Good morning,

Newbie question: what is the correct way to ask for a taxon to be added to the database? In this case, it’s Metzneria neli, a small moth from southern europe described in 2021.

Thank you,

J L Fabião

Create a “Flag for curation” on the parent genus requesting an addition.

Hey, welcome to the forum! :)
You should create a flag on the parent taxon, in this case, Genus Metzneria. You can do that here:

Make sure to add a comment with a reliable source (like a paper, or a species database such as WoRMS for marine species or POWO for plants. (I don’t know if there is one for Lepidoptera).

Edit: Ah, I see someone has already beaten me to it. Haha
