Topic: Chamaepsila unilineata

Searching for Chamaepsila unilineata returns Chamaepsila pallida.
They are not the same, Tony says so:

Re: Chamaepsila unilineata

Thanks Darwyn - I had a chat with Tony and have split off unilineata ... the other synonyms of pallida are a mess so I have left them as they are :)

Re: Chamaepsila unilineata

But a search on the Atlas gives me Ch. pallida and all those records.
It should either be removed as a synonym or given a page with zero records (if that's possible)
Otherwise this species cannot be recorded.
