Re: Invalid R6 names
Having had a large number of taxa not listed in R2002 dictionaries, it is good to have reduced that number substantially with R6. I still have the following which are not listed in current dictionaries.
These are (most in groups with which I am not familiar):
Acalitus calycophthirus
Aceria cephaloneus
Adelges cooleyi
Andricus inflator
Andricus legitimus
Bradysia chandleri
Caloplaca sorediella
Eriophyes lissonotus
Lasiobolus lasioboloides
Phylloxera quercus
Pyxidiophora badiorostris
Sporormiella octonalis
Synchrytium taraxaci.
I have checked (with Google, of course!) that all of these are known names, though with Synchrytium I have found only the genus and not that particular species.
I also note that Geophilus easoni (centipede) is on the R6 dictionary, but is not recognised on the Gateway. I am surprised that this should happen at all.
Some of the taxa are pretty new (e.g. B. chandleri), but others seem to be long established (e.g. Adelges, Andricus spp., and Caloplaca).
