Topic: A Mollusc Query

Chris,

Should the Vernacular Name for Isognomon bicolor be "Bicolour Purse Oyster" rather than "Bicolor Purse Oyster" ??  If not then could it be added as a synonym please ??  See Page 136 of British Wildlife, Volume 27, Number 2, December 2015.

Re: A Mollusc Query

Good point - I have altered the spelling as we are a UK database and the name didn't derive from another online source, like WoRMS or GBIF :)
