Butterfly: Sleepy Orange Scientific Name

General
1

Hello all,

I’m producing a list of taxon_ids for Butterflies reported in the Northeastern United States and came across the following in the scientific_name field:

• Abaeis nicippe (Sleepy Orange)
• Genus Abaeis (only Sleepy Orange for North America)

On the NABA checklist < https://www.naba.org/pubs/enames2_4.html > the scientific name for Sleepy Orange is listed as Eurema Nicippe and when searching on Eurema nicippe in iNat the following is returned:

• Sleepy Orange (Eurema nicippe) | Abaeis nicippe

Is there a reason that iNaturalist has held on to the old scientific name with the new scientific name shown in parentheses?

Thanks in advance.

Ben
