Topic: Lithodes maia / maja

Hi,

I find Lithodes maia in the species inventory.

However in WoRMS and PESI is spelt Lithodes maja.

Incidentally, I think the spelling discrepancy probably accounts for the NBN map on MarLIN not working.

Is this difference intentional?

Re: Lithodes maia / maja

Hi Jim

That does look like a typo - possibly originating from when the Ulster Museum list was imported. I will correct that ASAP.

Many thanks,
Chris R.
