A host of new feature names have been approved for use on Dione. For example, the large impact basin on Dione shall hence forth be known as Evander.

Here is it mappified (map by Steve Albers). I think I got all the ones that got changed from the original proposal, but let me know if you see any mistakes.

Really Great, thanks a lot Jason. I was waiting for these names since a long time.
I really like maps of solar system bodies, and Steve Albers maps are really fantastic. And with names, it's even better.
A lot of new names to learn and an occasion to study in closer detail the Aeneid.
I just would have called the big basin Virgil (as well as I think Homer deserves to have his name somewhere on Tethys).
Marc.
