Re: Bank Vole
Whilst testing an xml query which produces output of Recommended scientific name and recommended common name (using the index_taxon_name table) for a species list, I noted that it was returning Myodes glareolus in both fields for records of Bank Vole.
Interesting as this name does not appear in the preferred (MAMMALIA) checklist except as a synonym for Clethryonymus glareolus, Myodes seems to reside in the list of additional names.
Why is this being returned as the recmmended name?
