Topic: Philoscia affinis and other new 'pods

Hi Chris,

Philoscia affinis Verhoeff, 1908 has been discovered in Britain (see http://www.bmig.org.uk/species/philoscia-affinis )

Reading the paper it seems it may have been here a while and Philoscia muscorum may need to be amended to pre-2017 or similar as it could refer to either species? Not sure what BMIG plan to do?

The following also appear to be new and need adding (see http://www.bmig.org.uk/resource/bmig-bu … me-30-2018 - which includes Steve's request for Cranogona dalensi)

Anchiphiloscia pilosa (Budde-Lund, 1913)
Ommatoiulus moreleti (Lucas, 1860)
Cylindroiulus pyrenaicus (Brölemann, 1897)
Ophyiulus germanicus (Verhoeff, 1896)

Thanks!
