What version of Recorder are you using, Steve? A preferred list for COLLEMBOLA was added as part of the species dictionary update for Recorder 6 provided with version 6.9.3. There are 182 lists in Recorder 2002 v2.3.7.8 but the latest version of Recorder 6 (v6.10.4) has 208 lists although it will have 214 lists if you have run the dictionary upgrade that came out in December 2007 – see http://forums.nbn.org.uk/viewtopic.php?id=504#p2238.

Dear Charles

Have recently been attempting to enter some records for Collembola in Cheshire into Recorder and after failing as the species were not in the dictionaries available I tried checking them on the NBN Taxon Dictionaries via the search mechanism.

In neither case could I find the species I was looking for and am left with the presumption that this group of species is not yet on any of the dictionaries available to recorders (if I am wrong and somebody can point me in the right direction I will be most grateful).

As there is a relatively new FSC Key to Collembola available now I would have thought that a checklist of species and their synonymy would also be available from Steve Hopkin.

Any chance of getting the Collembola built into the dictionary asap ??

Cheers and thanks

Steve J. McWilliam :)
