Topic: [Macro]saldula scotica

Sorry, Chris - it's me again!

Our local hemipterist has flagged up a synonym problem with Macrosaldula scotica and Saldula scotica, the same species.

See http://www.britishbugs.org.uk/heteropte … tica.html.

These are returned separately on the Gateway, Macrosaldula scotica (Curtis, 1835)     TaxonVersionKey: NHMSYS0020309408 valid with no synonyms, and Saldula scotica (Curtis)     TaxonVersionKey: NBNSYS0000010338 invalid with one invalid synonym.

Re: [Macro]saldula scotica

Thanks Murdo - much appreciated :)   I will have a look at that ASAP.

EDIT: that's done now on the master copy - Saldula scotica is a synonym of Macrosaldula scotica
