Topic: Addition of Vernacular Names for Molluscs

Chris,

Would it be possible to add 3 Vernacular Names as synonyms to the mollusc species entry of Rangia cuneata please - the vernacular names are:

- Gulf Wedge Clam
- Atlantic Rangia.

Could the vernacular name of "False Dark Mussel" be added as a synonym to Mytilopsis leucophaeata ?

Could the vernacular name of "Striate Piddock" be added as a synonym to Martesia striata ?

See Pages 134 & 135 of British Wildlife, Volume 27, Number 2, December 2015.
