  • J Milburn, I am as certain of its ID as the marine biologists who redescribed Thysanozoon_nigropapillosum in 2014 per the RS cited in the article. With regards to a better title, I am certainly open to suggestions. I considered using its binomial nomenclature but one of the common names would be far easier to pronounce. How about polyclad flatworm, or golden-spotted flatworm" or yellow papillae flatworm? Atsme📞📧 17:00, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry- just so we're clear, you're telling me that the marine biologists who authored the 2014 paper identified the species for you? And as for an image title, "Yellow papillae flatworm, Manta Ray Bay" or something would be fine, I would have thought. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:31, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • No problem - I apologize if my response was ambiguous. There is no OR involved. I was referring to the description in the cited journal along with other verifiable sources. Example: [1] links to [2] where there are images. Atsme📞📧 17:51, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks, Josh, and for further verification that I provided an accurate, scientific id of the species, please see [3] which is also cited at the article. Atsme📞📧 17:26, 15 December 2015
