The key is outdated and needs revision.
The monograph is too specialized and overlooks common variations.
The organism may represent a newly discovered species or a variant not yet documented in the monograph.
There's a fundamental error in the taxonomic system itself.
While creating a phylogenetic tree for a genus of insects, a taxonomist finds conflicting information between a recently published monograph and a classical museum catalogue. Which resource should be prioritized and why?
