Topic: Elachista fucicola (Velley) Areschoug, 1842 - wrongly classified

Hi Chris,
Not sure if this is one for you or Sophia at NBN.

Elachista fucicola (Velley) Areschoug, 1842 appears on NBN as Lepidoptera species when it is a chromist.
Kingdom Chromista
Phylum Ochrophyta
Class Phaeophyceae
Subclass Fucophycidae
Order Ectocarpales
Family Chordariaceae
Genus Elachista.

Please can it be corrected.

Thank you

Christine

Hi Christine

Thanks for pointing that out - all fixed now. I found a few more that had been inadvertently moved to the moth homonym!

Best wishes,
Chris R.
