Topic: Natrix helvetica
I hope the two new species of grass snake will be added to the species dictionary quickly!
Natrix helvetica is already there as N.natrix subsp.helvetica, but Natrix natrix sensu stricto (or N.n. subsp. natrix) isn't - the existing Natrix natrix will need to be changed to Natrix natrix sensu lato.
Whether the new species is accepted or not, Natrix natrix subsp. natrix needs adding the enable distinguishing the two variants
