Hi. Appreciate your works on spider pages. However, I noticed that you have redirect the page Poecilotheria vittata in to Poecilotheria striata. I think this is according to IUCN Red List, where it denotes as a synonym. But in IUCN also, there is no any clue, with what explanation, doe it includes as a synonym. P. vittata is found in Sri Lanka and P. striata in India. In Sri Lankan zoological guides and books, P. vittata is described as a separate species by many experts of arachnids. In other online literature besides IUCN, there is no any further explanation about its synonym characters. So, I think two species are distinct. Therefore, if you can remove redirect of P. vittata. Unless, I will make another page with its common name. Thanks. Gihan Jayaweera (talk) 04:26, 26 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

I suggest we put that up for comment at Talk:Poecilotheria_striata, as I can't say I have the overview in these matters. Copied there.-- Elmidae (talk) 14:17, 26 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
