Missing Taxa of some Genus/species

[renko]

Hello Everyone !

While posting new observations, I noticed some missing taxa. I could not find “external sources names” directly on INaturalist. But here are the observations in question :

• Epyris niger : https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/104730775
  according to NBN Atlas this species name is the accepted name : https://species.nbnatlas.org/species/NHMSYS0000875923#names

• Pseudavga flavicoxa : https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/104857546
  accord to NBN Atlas this genus and species name is also the correct one : https://species.nbnatlas.org/species/NHMSYS0021229571#names

I hope I put my thread in the good category. I am sorry if I did any mistake(s) !

With my Best Wishes for 2022 !!

Simple. Search for evidence of existence, flag it (attach evidence of existence to it), then wait.

@minhkhang

evidence of existence

i. e. a external authority or a publication that describes/mention it.

You need to add flag to parent taxon, curators will add them.

Thanks you so much for your replies !

I am not sure how to add a flag on a missing taxon ?

Edit : Do I have to “signal it as non appropriate” ? (with the flag icon ?)

Have left comments on your obs as that Curation happens within iNat, not here on the Forum

Not the missing taxon but the parent of the missing taxon should be flagged.
