Re: Additions

Hi, I have a large invertebrate dataset which I've prepared for upload, but there are 3 taxa which I can not find in the dictionary:

Arrhenurus: (genus of water mites)
Diplocephalus graecus (mediterranean spider recently found in the UK, accepted on GBIF http://data.gbif.org/species/14469042)
Malthodes hexacanthus (cantharid beetle new to the UK from this survey, authority is Kiesenwetter 1852, subfamily Malthininae)

Could these be added to the species dictionary?

The data also contained several records of Osmia spinulosa, which does not appear to have a TVK, I'm assuming this is a synonym for Hoplitis spinulosa? If so could it be added to the dictionary.

Cheers

Will

Re: Additions

Dear Will,

I have added:

Diplocephalus graecus (O. P.-Cambridge, 1872), Taxon Version Key NHMSYS0020774735

Malthodes (Malthodes) hexacanthus Kiesenwetter, 1852, Taxon Version Key NHMSYS0020774741

Osmia spinulosa (Kirby, 1802), Taxon Version Key NHMSYS0020774747 as synonym of Hoplitis (Anthocopa) spinulosa (Kirby, 1802)

I have not added Arrhenurus as this is a misspelling of Arrenurus

Steve - thank you for once again looking up the authorities.
