Riodinidae Pass 1
For todays session on the scratchpad, I concentrated on the Riodinidae:
1) I checked all the Genus names against the NHM database
2) I started checking the species names against the LepIndex. I have found a few cases that need further attention, where the name doesn't match with the LepIndex but seems to be in general use (linked to this post). For this I will have to try and check the original descriptions. I have emailed George Beccaloni at LepIndex (13/2/2012) with my observations, but got an automated reply that he is out of the office until April.
