Re: Missing Collembola

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

Re: Missing Collembola

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.
