Scaralis, etc.

Hi. Two things: (1) If you've had a chance to read our paper carefully, you'll note that we attempted to highlight the chaotic state of the higher classification of fulgorids. Many genera, tribes, and subfamilies that are used in the present consensus classification are clearly not good groups, and it will take many years and lots of DNA sequencing to get things settled properly. While it is not the focus of our paper, the point is that the present classification is based solely on morphology, and it is obvious that similar-looking fulgorids can be very distantly related to one another. For example, you had commented elsewhere, as I recall, that some species of Pyrops and Saiva looked very similar and you thought they should be in a separate genus, grouped together. If the only evidence is appearance, I would not trust that your suggested group is going to hold up to scrutiny, should anyone test the hypothesis by doing DNA sequencing. It might, but it easily might not. (2) There are very few morphological differences between Scaralis picta and Scaralis neotropicalis, and they are extremely subtle, such as the more extensive black on the hindwings of picta, and the bi-colored apical wing membrane in picta. The one very easy way to tell them apart is that picta is from South America, and neotropicalis is not. The images in iNaturalist that are from Central America and IDed as picta are pretty certainly neotropicalis, or possibly obscura, but I'm not going to argue the point at this stage of things; there is no existing key to the genus, and it has never been revised. I would expect that if someone does a DNA analysis, these two species will probably either be the same, or they will be sister taxa. Dyanega (talk) 14:59, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I would like to know that what does Scaralis quadricolor and fluvialis look like. I have seen spectabilis in distant 1887. I am very curious about Fulgoridae but unfortunately my knowledge is mostly limited to the oriental region, hence I seek guidance about new world Fulgoridae when I spot an opportunity. I used to have an iNaturalist account but it was suspended because I were below 13, but when I am thirteen, I will try to recover the account after emailing tiwane. I had got a good leader board when I were on iNat. Uploader1234567890 (talk) 10:02, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

After suspension of my iNaturalist account, I could not ask questions. So I you one to understand further. I used to suspect that picture and neotropicalis are synonyms but found obscura distinct enough. Uploader1234567890 (talk) 10:05, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

I meant leaderboard in identifications. I had committed 710 Fulgoridae ids and more than 1200 in total. Uploader1234567890 (talk) 11:33, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

The planthopper illustrations in the Biologia are of variable quality and accuracy. Some are very good (e.g., the one for "Acraephia astralis"), others are not, including the one for spectabilis. A photo of the holotype of spectabilis was published by Porion, and bears little resemblance to the Biologia figure. It is quite similar to both fluvialis and quadricolor. We examined and compared the type material of all these species (that we could locate), and that's an essential part of the taxonomic process. Two types we did not see were picta and obscura, and that is problematic. The illustration of obscura in the Biologia shows a wing pattern that is typical of neotropicalis, and could indicate that it is also a synonym. However, the drawing shows no dark markings on the head or thorax, which - if accurate - would suggest it is not a synonym of neotropicalis, which always has some dark markings. However, I'm increasingly suspicious, as time goes on, because if obscura was NOT the same as neotropicalis, someone should have taken a photo of it by now. I've looked at all the photos of Mesoamerican Scaralis in iNat, and I see only two large Scaralis species in those photos; one is neotropicalis, and the other has very large and very yellow spotting in the wings, and a black and blue abdomen (see [1]) - I have no idea what species that one is. It may be undescribed. I suppose it's possible that Porion's photo of picta is a misidentified specimen of neotropicalis, which would make things more complicated; that's why type specimens are so important. Dyanega (talk) 17:40, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

I do not have Porion 1996, hence I have no other figure to refer to. S. quadricolor I don’t know any figures, and what troubles me even more is that I do not even have access to the original description of fluvialis. I am completely confused and and don’t know what to do if I don’t even have the original description of fluvialis. Uploader1234567890 (talk) 18:55, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

If you don't have access to the necessary resources, then you should restrict yourself to making edits for which you DO have proper sources available. There is a reason that most of the links to invertebrate species in Wikipedia do not have associated articles (i.e., they are mostly "redlinks"). Very few of us have a combination of access to the primary literature, AND the time and energy to provide text for Wikipedia articles. You, personally, are not in a position to propose new synonymies or taxon names, or make any other edits to Wikipedia that are not based on published and accepted information. If you want to do something constructive, then the first thing to do is make sure that the classification in Wikipedia matches the classification in the World Auchenorrhyncha Database. The WAD contains sufficient information to allow you to give a stub-level article for each genus, and that would be plenty for Wikipedia. Don't try to provide articles for every species. Please note that for genus names that match other article title in Wikipedia, the proper disambiguator is "Xxxxx (planthopper)", not "(insect)" or "(genus)" (see, e.g. Acmonia (planthopper). It's great that you're so enthusiastic, but there are limits to what you can (and should) contribute to Wikipedia, and policies and practices you need to become familiar with, such as proper methods of formatting, linking, citing, building taxoboxes, assigning categories, and so forth. Take your time, learn from existing examples. Peace, Dyanega (talk) 14:51, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Well, It is, for me, not only contributing to wikipedia by knowing these but also my identification skills. I am extremely curious about different species, and my knowledge is best in the following families, which I am constantly improving:

Fulgoridae.

Lophopidae.

Some oriental dictyopharidae.

and a few others. I want know the differences... Uploader1234567890 (talk) 14:59, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Amantia peruana infasciata moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Amantia peruana infasciata. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and subspecies must be significantly notable for inclusion. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. UtherSRG (talk) 11:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Sadly the only resources that include this and the other subspecies are hopper.speciesfile and the original description. I find the subspecies district enough. I had a few edits, that i will handle later. Thanks a lot. Uploader1234567890 (talk) 11:13, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

You can put the subspecies info on the species article. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:19, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

I have already done. Adding etymology. Uploader1234567890 (talk) 13:25, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

@SunDawn: Thanks. I will create an article for Odontoptera toulgoeti in a while. Uploader1234567890 (talk) 10:30, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Please note the changes I've made to this article. Species and genus names should always be in italics. Images can not be used as reference for descriptions; a written description should be cited. UtherSRG (talk) 11:13, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

I found a written description to cite, and have cited it. Uploader1234567890 (talk) 12:56, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Better. For future work, please read WP:BACKWARDS: you should start with finding references, and summarize what is written. You should not start with assertions and find references to support those assertions. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:00, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Subspecies

While species are assumed to be notable, and therefore valid articles, subspecies must have proven notability to be an article. I strongly suggest you merge Amantia peruana infasciata and Amantia peruana peruana into Amantia peruana before they get deleted. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:14, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, but proper articles for overdistinct subspecies are actually with it. You can read the articles, and you will realise that they are relevant. Uploader1234567890 (talk) 14:20, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Descriptions and locations are not relevant for notability. I'm going to tag them for merger. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:29, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Pyrops sultana

Please do not take action regarding what is or is not a Code-compliant name until and unless you find viable sources for the action. In this case, the word "sultana" is not a Latin or Greek adjective. It therefore never changes spelling, as only Latin or Greek adjectives are treated under the ICZN as declinable. If you want to claim that "sultana" is a Latin or Greek adjective, then you have to find a Latin or Greek dictionary that states it is an adjective, and cite it. Dyanega (talk) 20:23, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok. I were thinking that whether it is FLOW or iNat, or some other website, it is always called sultanus. Why not? Uploader1234567890 (talk) 05:05, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

How about just aligning with the hopper DB? - UtherSRG (talk) 10:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Well, I think it a mistake of the hopper db authors, and in flow a visible mistake is writing Pyrops ochraceus Nagai & Porion ochracea. Each database has a mistake, just with two separate species - funny, right? Uploader1234567890 (talk) 12:53, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

FLOW has considerably more errors than the Hopper DB, and the use of "sultana" is not, I repeat, NOT a mistake. If you ever see a discrpeancy between the two sources, it's safe to assume that the one that is wrong is FLOW. The owner of the Hopper DB updates it and edits it on a daily basis, and revises errors when they are pointed out; the owner of FLOW hardly ever edits it except to add new species. Dyanega (talk) 14:56, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Hmm… I wonder wh if it has been ten days since Saiva constanti Jiaranaisakul, 2024 has been described and yet it has not been updated. And Polydictya bhaskarai Constant, 2024 has only recently appeared also more than 10 days after description.

If you still not listening then please tell me why are Pyrops dimotus and sapphirinus listed as synonyms of cyanirostris, if they were synonymized by Nagai & Porion 1996 according to Constant 2015 review of the Pyrops effusus group page 3 and these species were synonymized 28 years ago. Please do not be a blind on hoppers db just because you find it reliable. I may agree on sultanus but I am just wanting to explain that this database is not as updated as you think.
