Schochia → Robertschochia – Roy Bateman (talk) 14:52, 25 December 2017 (UTC) See: Orthoptera species fileReply

@Roy Bateman: The move request appears to be requesting to move the article to the same title it is already at. What is the title you are recommending the article be moved, and why? Steel1943 (talk) 15:47, 25 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
- I've fixed the move request to what I believe was intended. The genus name Schochia was chosen by the discoverer in 1993, see [1]. However, in 2011 the discoverer published a paper renaming the genus to Robertschochia, as it turned out there was a pre-existing genus with that name [2]. Since this is a recently-discovered, extinct species, there is no common name, so the article title should default to the name of the genus, as per WP:FAUNA#Monotypic taxa.--Aervanath (talk) 18:30, 25 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
Support as per WP:FAUNA.--Aervanath (talk) 18:30, 25 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
- Many thanks Aervanath and apologies for not being clearer. Presumably, the extinct animal genus name was changed to Robertschochia because it had been 'taken' by von Wattenwyl in 1895! If this page and its history could be moved to Robertschochia, I would be happy to set up a stub here for the genus of bush-cricket in the subfamily Pseudophyllinae.
