Questions

@Notafly: I just did some formatting cleanup on Sericinus and I'm hoping you can look and make sure what I did was right. Also, I'm not familiar with the abbreviations "gen. vern.", "gen. aest." and "i.l.", and I didn't know what the exclamation point (!) meant at several points. Finally, since this genus is monotypic, should this article be merged with Sericinus montela? Thanks.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  21:36, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Also I don't know what monobasic means in this context.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  21:48, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
