Thx a lot. This new command works fine in the index, but it is a bit problematic in the text, because it inserts empty space after the species names. This is fine except when the species name is followed by a comma or period.

I already tried to insert the command
$\!$
(sometimes multiple times ...

I have a problem with the new command
\newcommand*{\itindex}[2][]{\textit{#2 #1}\index{#2@\textit{#2}\ifx#1\empty\else!\textit{#1}\

\itindex{Rana}

\itindex[dunni]{Rana}

\itindex[onca]{Rana}
because after the first mention I abbreviate my species names.

Thanks very much for the prompt and perfect solution to my problem!

It now works beautifully! You made my day.


I just wanted to ask if you could explain the command a bit, so that I can hopefully one day make my own new commands,
\newcommand*{\itindex}[2][]{\textit{#2 #1}\index{#2@\textit{#2 ...

Nevermind that last question.

So if I did understand it, a MWE is an example where you get rid of everything that doesn't pertain to the problem.

So here it is:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{moderncv}
\listfiles

% personal data
\firstname{John}
\familyname{Doe}
\mobile{mobile (optional ...

Thx.

I'm working on the MWE. Gonna take me some time.

How do I post the MWE?

I'm having problems with the moderncv package.
A couple of weeks ago it worked fine, but now I get the following warning when I run the moderncv example (and all my other cvs).
