Heads up: Some or all of the identifications affected by
this split may have been replaced with identifications of Rhabdophis. This
happens when we can't automatically assign an identification to one of the
output taxa.
Review identifications of Rhabdophis subminiatus 28827
@naydin I see you added Rhabdophis helleri - we were deviating until someone finished the work of splitting Rhabdophis subminiatus.
Please remember to check to see if we're deviating before adding species.
Since you added it, can you help split Rhabdophis helleri?
This will involve
1) narrowing the atlas for Rhabdophis subminiatus.
2) making an atlas for Rhabdophis helleri
3) either removing the sensu lato taxon range for Rhabdophis helleri with a blank one or (preferably) a narrowed one
many thanks for your help curating and happy to explain anything that might be unclear
This split also needs to incorporate Rhabdophis siamensis (and R. confusus if there are any observations of R. subminiatus from Hainan). I have added these but the atlas for R. subminiatus (S.S.) needs revision before the split can be committed.
OK I removed Hong Kong from the Rhabdophis subminiatus atlas which was overlapping with Rhabdophis helleri (hope thats right) and committed - thanks for sorting this out
Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
