Another "old" question....

[Marc van Arc]

... is the issue with regard to Leiarius longibarbis vs L. marmoratus. It crossed my mind due to a recent post in the SA everything else forum.
Apparently both species are valid, which makes the synonymy of longibarbis in the Clog incorrect for starters.
Furthermore Ferraris names longibarbis as a species inquirendae, while marmoratus appears as a "normal" species. This could indicate that the species known to us is in fact marmoratus rather than longibarbis. Is it an idea to change the Clog entry to L. marmoratus?
Pls comment.

Anyone??

I think we probably should, but then L. longibarbis has been in use for long enough that it should probably have an entry explaining the position. I will do that now, anyone fancy adding a data submission for them?????

Leiarius longibarbis

and

Leiarius marmoratus

now have their own areas. I will move the synonyms around, but I think there needs to be some data subs to fix/copy info?

I have added the data items from COF, and a comment that until recently we had L. marmoratus pictures under the name L. longibarbis.
