Topic: Species name error on NBN Atlas

The misspelt family (Schrekensteiniidae), genus (Schrekensteinia) and species (Schrekensteinia festaliella) still persists on the NBN atlas. All should have a 'c' in front of the 'k'. I pressume this will be corrected when the atlas is updated to the latest version of the species dictionary.

Re: Species name error on NBN Atlas

Yes, those were all spotted by Bob Heckford and corrected in the most recent update, so the misspellings don't even exist as junior synonyms ;)
