@crothfels when species are removed from a infrageneric group, it is procedure to swap to the lowest common denominator group above the distributed species, and recreate the group as a sensu stricto. In this case, all of these groups had species removed, so IDs of sensu lato would not be equivalent to a group containing an incomplete cohort of species, necessitating this merge to preserve ID accuracy.
I created the other smaller clades as complexes, but none of these were 1:1 accurate with our prior arrangement of species.
You want to bump these up to the subgenus, instead of using the "informal clade names" that are approximately equivalent to the section rank?
