David, Naturemapr currently doesn't use Anzybas in favour of Corybas, though I am happy to make the change assuming its all good with the rest of the orchid team. I'm not exactly sure as to the general acceptance of this genus, most sources I can find online call all of the helmet orchids Corybas, is it a similar situation to the pterostylis complex?

Like most issues in taxonomy there are supporters and protagonists. I am biased of course but I note that the two most recently published books on Australian orchids (July 2022) dealing with the orchids of WA and SA, follow my taxonomy.
