Re: Protista?

I've had an enquiry from a partner asking if the follow wee beasties can be included in Recorder:

Kingdom 'Protista':
Lacrymaria olor
Litonotus fasciola
Paramecium caudatum
Paramecium bursaria
Euglena acus
Arcella conica
Stentor polymorphus
Tachysoma pellionella

Re: Protista?

Charles,

They can be added to the 'List of Additional names'. Can you supply authorities for these names? We much prefer to only add names that have correct authorities.

Re: Protista?

As far as I can find the authors are as follows:

Lacrymaria olor (Müller)
Litonotus fasciola (Ehrenberg, 1838)
Paramecium caudatum (Ehrenberg)
Paramecium bursaria (Ehrenberg)
Euglena acus Ehrenberg
Arcella conica Deflandre
Stentor polymorphus (Müller)
Tachysoma pellionella (Müller-Stein, 1859)

Hope that helps.

Steve

Re: Protista?

Finally got round to adding these names to the Species Dictionary - they should get to Recorder users in an update in June. Mostly I have used the authorities as supplied by Steve as I couldn't find anything better (some are lacking the year). I have supplied the TVKs , in case you need to use them straight away.

Lacrymaria olor (Müller) NHMSYS0020499931
Litonotus fasciola (Ehrenberg, 1838) NHMSYS0020499936
Paramecium caudatum (Ehrenberg) NHMSYS0020499946
Paramecium bursaria (Ehrenberg) NHMSYS0020499941
Euglena acus Ehrenberg - use Euglena acus Ehrenb., 1830 NHMSYS0000602587 (already in Dictionary)
Arcella conica Deflandre NHMSYS0020499926
Stentor polymorphus (Müller) NHMSYS0020499951
Tachysoma pellionella (Müller-Stein, 1859) NHMSYS0020499956
