Re: Changing Names

Yeah, well, here's my perspective: there is a reason these kinds of studies are called "revisions." If the taxonomist reviewed the genus and concluded that it was all correct just as it is, he would have nothing to publish, would he? So, go into it with the assumption that changes will have to be made, and called it a "revision."
