I noticed iNaturalist has begun using the term ‘complex’ instead of the historically used ‘group’ i.e. nigricornis species group; karschi group… This term was used in papers by T. Walker, D. Otte and R. Toms. Why the new terminology? Thank you.
The problem is that iNaturalist doesn’t support the taxon rank “species group”. This is also a problem for spiders, as “species group” is commonly used in spider taxonomy as well. See https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/create-a-new-taxon-rank-for-inaturalist-the-species-group/14543.
