Buckeye confusion

Hi folks: Recently, I have been investigating the taxonomy of the buckeye group of Nymphalids in the americas. I had always entered mine under five species names based on location and appearance. In looking at the eButterfly taxonomy for buckeyes, I came across 10 species in the americas (six in North America) that appear to be based on a 2020 article by Cong, et al in an article in Systematic Entomology. Do I assume that eventually this will be corrected automatically? I see issues with some overlapping species that do not have photos. It also raised a technical problem when I went to pull up my U.S. life list to look for buckeye records and I could only see page one of that list when I adjusted it to show 100 per page (this meant I could not look at my buckeye species if I wanted to make corrections). Hope this is clear.
