You're right, sp(3) was renamed yesterday and sp(4) became (3). However, some images didn't refresh correctly and that is now fixed.

I would think renaming sp (4) into (3) causes an enormous lot of confusion.

Perhaps keeping sp (3) as a synonym for the new name, and keeping sp (4) as such / thus a new sepecies will become sp(5) would be amore practical approach

Well, it's just the way I've always done it. As unidentified or undescribed species get sorted out, they get moved to the new name.

If I don't rename them then you end up with "holes" in the unknown species (e.g. sp(1), sp(5), sp(8) etc).
