Topic: Another inconsistency

These three taxa have two different preferred generic names (pasted from the taxon page for 'erio gon':

Eriophyes goniothorax    Phyllocoptes goniothorax (Nalepa, 1889), ACARINE (ACARI)    144
Eriophyes goniothorax    Eriophyes goniothorax (Nalepa, 1889), ACARINE (ACARI)    525
Eriophyes goniothorax subsp. typicus    Eriophyes goniothorax subsp. typicus, ACARINE (ACARI)    525

The details for the two are:

Phyllocoptes goniothorax (Nalepa, 1889), NHMSYS0020190643 and

Eriophyes goniothorax (Nalepa, 1889), NHMSYS0020917299.

Re: Another inconsistency

That does look like an issue ... Phyllocoptes seems to be the correct genus but I need to find a reliable source for Acari ;)
