Re: Problem with synonomy between old and new snail names

There seems to be a problem with linking between old and new snail names on the Mollusca (Non-marine) list within Recorder 6, which I assume must mean the synonomy hasn't been set up correctly?

When you search for Helix aspersa, which has recently had its name changed to Cornu aspersum, you can't find it. However if you go to the entry for Cornu aspersum, Helix aspersa is listed as a synonym.

The same situation exists with Ena obscura and Merdigera obscura.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Many thanks
