JB,
If I've offended you in any way, I am deeply sorry because that was not my intention. I didn't think you were being difficult in any way and you were not bothering anyone. I was just trying to explain that if someone searches the database for Rhipsalidopsis, it will take them to the the plant they are looking for and show Hatiora as a synonym.
I think the reason it MUST be listed the way it is, is because that's the correct scientific/botanical manner in which to list it. We all want the ATP database to be as exact and as correct as possible and we have a great group of administrators who are always on their toes and making corrections to the database which is the reason why it's set up so that if someone types in the "formerly known as" Genus, it takes them to the current, correct listing.
Please forgive me if I butted in and spoke out of turn.
Lin
