strange new map issue

[typophyllum]

The Old World genus Ruspolia has three incorrect distributions in South America: French Guiana, Peru, and the Valparaíso Region of Chile:

Searching the map for each of these three areas on TaxonPages (public version of OSF) no OTU is found:

The map is now upadated, but the wrong distribution in the Valparaíso Region persists.

The reason could be that the shape seems to include many islands in the Pacific Ocean reaching as far west as the Leeward Islands and French Polynesia:

Hawaii is also inlcuded. So it seems to be related to Ruspolia insularis, found on Hawaii and the Cook Islands. But this has nothing to to with Valparaiso.

To clarify my understanding, did you modify the distribution of R. pulchella to eliminate the Peru asserted distribution and similarly R. macroxipha to eliminate French Guiana (both of which looks to be not obviously wrong due to type locality in archive)?

[typophyllum]

R. pulchella was a duplicate of a Neoconocephalus species and R. macroxipha I moved to Neoconocephalus in a paper published in May last year. Mid 2024 the map was correct.

This morning I modified the distribution data of Ruspolia insularis and hopefully with the next map refresh it will be correct.

At any rate, there seems to be a shape file that combines the Pacific islands with Valparaiso in Chile.

I manually forced a rebuild of the map. Does it look OK?

Thank you, almost, only the areas of Ruspolia insularis are missing. Perhaps because I corrected a few specimens today and removed the asserted distributions.
