The issue of whether to use
Panzeria or
Ernestia is likely to remain contentious for a while.
Ernestia was preferred by European workers (following Mesnil's preference) but over in the US they have been using
Panzeria, after Monty Wood's preference.
The ICZN rules seem clear that
Panzeria is the correct name (
Panzeria rudis is the nominate species) and recently, after I drew his attention to the problem, Peter Tschorsig informed me that he would be using
Panzeria in place of
Ernestia in the future. But places like the DI gallery and FaunaEuropaea are likely to continue using
Ernestia for a while, until they are changed.
Then there are people like Cerretti who use
Panzeria to cover
Ernestia,
Eurithia,
Appencidica &
Fausta ... but Peter Tschorsnig said that he wouldn't go that far until a complete revision had proven the idea ;)
PS: Nice find - they are quite rare :)
