Could you please add an entry for the Alpine Newt (Lissotriton alpestris (Laurenti, 1768). They have been breeding in a Macclesfield pond for over 6 years and have also been caught at another pond in the Manchester Airport area.
Many thanks.
Steve
Dear Steve,
Alpine Newt is already in the Species Dictionary, with the scientific name of Mesotriton alpestris (Laurenti, 1768). I have, however, added the current nmae for this species, which is: Ichthyosaura alpestris (Laurenti, 1768) Taxon Version Key: NHMSYS0020740241
Best wishes,
Charles Hussey
Hi Charles,
Thanks but it still leaves me with a problem.
Typing in 'Lissotriton alpestris' into the Webservices Taxon Search at: http://data.nbn.org.uk/nbnexamples/ws-t … Search.jsp produces an error page which normally indicates that the species name entered is NOT on the Dictionary.
However, typing in 'Alpine Newt' gives the following information in return:
Mesotriton alpestris, (Laurenti, 1768) - NHMSYS0020194857 - amphibian
Synonyms
* Alpine Newt, - NBNSYS0000164751
* Triturus alpestris, - NBNSYS0000041451
* Triturus alpestris, (Laurenti, 1768) - NHMSYS0000080154
As you can see from the above the name 'Lissotriton alpestris' does not appear in the synonymy list. Can I ask you to add an entry for "Lissotriton alpestris (Laurenti, 1768)" to the synonymy list for this species please ?
Many thanks.
Steve
