Re: another name for adding

The latest dictionary reflects the recent split of of the beetle Chaetarthria seminulum into C. seminulum and C. simillima.  However there is no C. seminulum s. lat. to take indeterminate pre-split records.  Please would you add it to the dictionary.

Re: another name for adding

Many thanks Bob - that has been added now. I have created a new aggregate name Chaetarthria seminulum s. lat. (TVK=NHMSYS0020973385) to encompass Chaetarthria seminulum (Herbst, 1797) and Chaetarthria simillima Vorst & Cuppen.
