During the last years ecological publications lacking in-depth taxonomic analysis of the material in study are published with increasing frequency, even in journals with a high impact index. More and more often there are lists of the most diverse groups, animals and plants, where "Genus Suchus sp.1" appears; "Genus Suchothersus sp. nearby (read: similar. "near" would be equivalent to phylogenetically related!) to guyus As a taxonomist, but above all as a biogeographer, I suggest that authors, reviewers and editors be more demanding about this aspect of their manuscripts. I believe that the correct identification of the species represents an added value for such papers. I’ll be very grateful for all opinion
