@kitty12 what's the evidence for this swap, please? It's a species endemic to New Zealand, and as far as I can tell, Streblus banksii remains in use for this species in New Zealand. Changing back to Paratrophis without good reason is going to cause unnecessary disruption. (Saying "POWO says so" isn't a good reason, as POWO does many dumb things.)

I want to see the paper that made this change. If the reversion to Paratrophis is accepted then what about the other NZ Streblus species - and those beyond NZ?

@leonperrie @cco And yet, the answer is, POWO says so, as it was the last time this was swapped. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes?taxon_id=410309
If you want a deviation to continue the situation since 2019 instead, please provide documentation.

Has there been anything confirming the 1987 paper since then?
