Topic: Gerris paludum is old (badly formed) name for Aquarius paludum

Gerris paludum NBNSYS0100012084  is the old (badly formed) name for Aquarius paludum NHMSYS0000527504.
Same is true for
Gerris najas NBNSYS0100012083 is the old (badly formed) name for Aquarius najas NHMSYS0000527503



Both need the old name linked across to the the current name & not seemingly as separate species as currently is the case on the NBN gateway.

Many thanks Stuart - I have synonymised those 2 Gerris with their equivalent Aquarius :)
