Topic: Australian Flatworm

Can I request that Australian Flatworm (Australoplana sanguinea) be added to Recorder - I know it is already in the NHM Dictionary as TVK NHMSYS0020744893, but it doesn't appear in my copy of Recorder - the only hit I get is for the variety A.s. var. alba

Re: Australian Flatworm

It is in Recorder, but in the Wildlife and Countryside Act (Schedule 9) list which is does  not to allow data entry.It would need adding to the List of additional names to make it  available for input. I am  tempted to suggest that users should be able to enter data using any list. Many of the reasons why this was prevented are no longer relevant, but  the impact still  needs to be thought through carefully.
