Description of problem:

Step 1: I did a Research Grade search in the genus Perophora limited to Asia. I happened to notice my photo of P namei did not appear.

Step 2: Changed from Asia to Australasia (photo taken in W. Papua, Indonesia) but no change,

Step 3: Changed to no geographic limit - it appeared; changed back again - vanished

It looks like this area is being considered part of Oceania rather than Asia:

I don’t see an iNat place defined for Australasia.

Oceania: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=97393
Asia: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=97395

Thanks. It shows as you say under Oceania but to me there seems little logic to that. Is there some boundary definition available in iNat please?
However, there is a defined area for Australasia which you can select - I have it on my screen now - it says “Australasia (Supername)”
Thanks for your help
Jim
