Topic: Is there a lookup from TVK to Preferred Species or Preferred TVK?

I have some unknown TVKs, probably old and deprecated, but can't think of a way to find out which species they are. The NHM search page for UKSI doesn't seem to offer this option. Example: NBNSYS0000005652

NBNSYS0000005652 is Leucorrhinia dubia (from Recorder 6 dictionary) if this helps, but not sure about how the UKSI can be used to find the deprecated names. I can do you a list of TVK's and dragonfly names if this helps.

Google can be surprisingly useful for this

Hrumph! Ok, that turns out to be the only one I was missing.
I prefer to go straight to the horse's mouth. Now to get our Checklist updated on the UKSI site...
