Michael, yes I noticed it was 'minutus' in ALA and AFD, but I changed it to minuta because the genus name looks feminine. But your change is fine with me. The original description of Pogonella - at https://australianmuseum.net.au/uploads/journals/17444/425_complete.pdf , p. 285 - does not specify its gender, and lists this species as 'minutus' implying the genus is masculine. However, Evans is inconsistent with gender in other parts of the paper. The AFD (and hence ALA) is also inconsistent with the application of gender agreement, something it should address because the agreed rules of nomenclature require it.

Thanks Kim.
As a general rule we try to match our names with those on ALA, since we export our data to them.
