Seasons greetings

A merry Christmas and a great new year to you. Yes have been watching the snows from afar and enjoying the sun all the more so. It appears that the Waxwings are enjoying the weather the most. Shyamal (talk) 15:55, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

And a merry christmas and happy new year to you too! AshLin (talk) 11:42, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Eisner

Hi and merry Xmas ^_^ (although late). I'm an it.wiki sysop, and I was orphanizing the disambiguation page "Eisner" when I met these two pages:

• Parnassius acco
• Parnassius acdestis

They have a link to someone called Eisner, but I don't know who he is. Curt? Thomas? Another one? Can you please help me? :-) please answer on my it.wiki talk page. --Superchilum^{(talk to me!)} 22:16, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

thank you very much :-) and happy new year! --Superchilum^{(talk to me!)} 09:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

About shore-flies: may help me?

Hi Robert, i'm trying for a month to rebuild the taxonomic tree of shore-flies with the revisions in last 10 years, but it's very difficult: I cannot access to most recent works of Mathis or Zatwarnicki and many data in the databases online are ambiguous, specially the BioSystematic Database of World Diptera that reports - about Ephydridae - last changes (also 2010) but also obsolete names or errors. But it's difficult to joint the palaearctic checklists (specially Fauna Europaea) with the Nearctic or other checklists, which often are incomplete or not updated. So, the BDWD reports as valid name the genus Pelignellus Sturtevant & Wheeler, 1954 with two species:

• P. subnudus Sturtevant & Wheeler, 1954 (NE)
• P. lituscolus Miyagi, 1977 (eastern PA)

So, I read (but I don't remember where) that the type-species of Pelignellus was moved to Atissa Haliday. In some websites Atissa subnudus is reported by some american catalogues online, p.a. discoverlife.org and nearctica.com, but other, p.a. catalogueoflife.org, report Pelignellus with the two species. In the Manual of Palaearctic Diptera, Pelignellus is not reported. An unknown (for me) work the abstract reports Pelignellus is synonymized with Atissa. I read this here, a webpage that chains fragments of abstracts of several articles, but I didn't find what article. I've not found references online to P. lituscolus or Atissa lituscolus, but there is a old work of Zatwarnicki (Zatwarnicki, T. (1991), Changes in nomenclature and synonymies of some genera and species of Ephydridae. (Diptera). Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift, 38: 295–333) which cites P. lituscola Miyagi, 1977). I know only the abstract of this article.

I think that Pelignellus was synonymized by Mathis or Zatwarnicki during the 90 years (so, it isn't mentioned in the Manual of Palaearctc Diptera). Can you confirm if Pelignellus whas synonymized Atissa? I'm going crazy!!!! :D greetings --gian_d (talk) 03:46, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

PS: the presumable tree that I rebuilt is in my user page in it.wiki (it:Utente:Giancarlodessi), but I couldn't place all genera --gian_d (talk) 03:54, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Robert. I'll send a mail to Irwin tomorrow.

>The temperatures were lower than usual. 2010 was a bad year for me, not only for temperatures! :D

Greetings --gian_d (talk) 17:24, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi Robert, I resolved. I sent a request also to Tadeusz Zatwarnicki and he confirmed that Pelignellus was synonymized with Atissa by him and Mathis in 1990. P. subnudus was moved to Atissa in the same work and P. litosculos to Cerobothrium litosculum in another work. See you --gian_d (talk) 03:18, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Confirmed by Irwin also --gian_d (talk) 08:50, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Timeline of ornithology

I've tried to clean up Timeline of ornithology but I think there's a bug in the image rendering. I've raised a question on the help desk. --Chuunen Baka (talk • contribs) 19:54, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
