Talk:Heterocrossa contactella

Current name for species

It appears from the New Zealand Organisms Register that the current accepted name for this species is Heterocrossa contactella (Walker, 1866). I refer any other editors to Volume 9 of the Insects of Hawai where Zimmerman, on page 797 argues that the Heterocrassa genus should not a synonym of Carposina as the genitalia in this genus are distinctive. This was accepted by Dugdale in Lepidoptera - annotated catalogue, and keys to family-group taxa as well as in the 2012 publication New Zealand Inventory of Biodiversity. Unless other editors have an objection I propose editing this article to reflect this. Ambrosia10 (talk) 02:33, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Requested move 10 June 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: The result of the move request was: Moved along with

• Carposina iophaea → Heterocrossa iophaea
• Heterocrossa ignobilis
• Heterocrossa gonosemana
• Heterocrossa exochana
• Heterocrossa eriphylla
• Heterocrossa epomiana
• Heterocrossa cryodana

In the future, please consider bundling similar requests per procedure at WP:RM#CM; I understand that it took several days to research, but moving one by one could have resulted in inconsistency. Non-experts were unlikely to object, anyway. Thanks. No such user (talk) 12:21, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
