Topic: Curious case of Zyginella pulchra

This may just be me.. but Zyginella pulchra isn't coming up in a R6 dictionary search, despite it having been apparently added some time ago (https://forums.nbn.org.uk/viewtopic.php?id=1720).

The species is searchable on the NBN Atlas and UKSI (http://nbn-sd-dev.nhm.ac.uk/taxonbrowse … la+pulchra).

I have also done a simple SQL for the TVK in the above link but it does not return any results..

Should this be reported as an R6 bug or is it something for the dictionary?

Thanks Charlie.
We're also on 3X but none of the keys you posted exist in our copy.. Something's gone awry..

Re: Curious case of Zyginella pulchra

That's odd - it's a fairly old name, now found in both the LoAN and the GBNNSIP checklist.

Definitely take that up with Mike because it might be a problem with the taxonomy update.
