Report a correction
Wrong authority, outdated taxonomy, a record that should not be there

You came from the account for Tartarocreagris attenuata. Back to it.

The portal compiles 1,445 accounts from taxonomic literature, agency databases, museum catalogs, and sequence records. Some of it will be wrong, and the people most likely to notice are the ones who work on these animals.

Corrections are the most useful email we get. You do not need a citation or a formal source: if you know an authority is wrong or a record is misplaced, that is enough to look into.

What happens next

  1. The report reaches us by email. Nothing on the site changes automatically.
  2. We check it against the sources, and against you if anything is unclear.
  3. The account is corrected and the change recorded in its edit history.
  4. We write back to tell you it is done.

Corrections and site concerns are dealt with before anything else.

The correction

Report a correction

Filled in automatically if you came from a species account.
Filled in automatically if you came from a species account.
Optional, but it helps us find the right record.
Be as specific as you can.
A reference, database, or your own unpublished work. We will not publish a change we cannot support, but knowing where it comes from is enough.
So we can ask if something is unclear, and tell you when it is fixed.
