obsolete 'region of integument defined by pigmentation pattern'

[Clare72]

This term only has one child and has not been directly used for curation. Having terms like this create an unnecessary maintenance overhead and don't seem to be particularly useful.

[SianGramates]

But you are leaving the child, 'trident', in place, right? I fully agree if that is the case, and you're just getting rid of the intermediate term.

[Clare72]

yes of course, 'trident' will be a direct child of 'region of integument', just cutting out the intermediate term
