Moth Mis-matches in BOLD Systems V4
BOLD specimens are the defacto gold standard for much of Australian
moth ID. So to have uncovered more than a dozen conspicuous errors
in placement is cause for some concern. Here I will begin a listing of the
more obvious errors.
The page for Oenochroa
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?searchMenu=taxonomy&query=oenochroa&taxon=oenochroa
includes this entry
http://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=88891111
which represents
Oenochroma subistraria
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=89593
The page for Philobota
http://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?searchMenu=taxonomy&query=philobota&taxon=philobota
is erroneously populated by a
Tortricid; http://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=187202
and a
Pantydia sp. (or similar); http://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=187211
This "Dasygaster padockina"; http://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=188220
is a
Paralaea ... not dissimilar to P. chionopasta; http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=362154
Picromorpha ... includes odd one out
http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=149323
Calguia
