Linda (and others who dabble in this taxonomic stuff),

The new genera do seem to be morphologically tidy, and quite
natural, and perhaps monophyletic (although one doesn't say that without
DNA analysis these days). Dr. Luer's presentations are, as always, clear
and easy to understand, and this doubtless goes a long way towards
making divisions seem natural, at least to this reader's eye. The same
goes for the ten new segregates of Specklinia (also published in v 28).
Well, now I've given it ALL away. You'll just have to buy the book even
though I've ruined the suspense!
