Second. And I think I'm the real sleepy one, I'm not quite sure how I justified that wording when writing it (on the 1989 election page). :D Orderinchaos 06:16, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notocypraea angustata[edit]

You've just made a change to Notocypraea angustata, claiming that Cypraea angustata var. subcarnea Beddome, 1896 actually is a synonym of Notocypraea subcarnea (Beddome, 1897). This could well be. I've explained the situation to and asked confirmation at the database World Register of Marine Species. This database, maintained by the best mollusc taxonomists in the world, has been helpful to our queries many times in the past. Thanks for noticing a possible (professional) mistake.

Thanks. I'm quite familiar with subcarnea and its taxonomy and read the original description when writing a small paper about it. I also sent WoRMS an email about the error last night and suggested they also review the synonymy of the other listed angustata synonyms - I believe some of the others (albata at least) are also subcarnea synonyms but am unsure which were formally listed as such in the Lorenz paper. One of these days I may get around to starting an N. subcarnea page here.Therealsleepycat (talk) 03:26, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great. All help to our project is welcome. Meanwhile, I've received an email from WoRMS that they've forwarded my email to an expert. JoJan (talk) 12:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
