Topic: Dicranopalpus spp

in light of the recent (2015) paper on Dicranopalpus ramosus there need to be several changes to the taxon in Recorder

Dicranopalpus ramosus needs to become D.ramosus sensu lato
and new entries for
D.ramosus (Simon, 1909) sensu stricto
and
D.caudatus Dresco, 1948

The paper can be read here:

Re: Dicranopalpus spp

All done, thanks :)

I have decided to make "sensu" names a bit more explanatory because we don't really need to be tied to traditional notation. The names are being created for biological recording software and so they need to be understandable in drop-down lists :)
