 * Thanks, this is very helpful for future species pages. Ruigeroeland (talk) 10:25, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * That's ok. Also, I've found that the species list on this article is incomplete - the CSIRO website only shows Australian species, but there seems to be other Indonesian/PNG species. It is really quite complicated with many different names (probably some are synonyms), and another genus, Neodiphthera, that includes some Opodiphthera species... it's too difficult for me to work out without a conclusive resource on the genus.

 * Yeah, I know the feeling.. Taxonomy can be a real pain.. I havent gotten round to this family yet, but I will look into it later and see if I can find a good resource.. Ruigeroeland (talk) 11:13, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
