[Taxacom] Misleading website on scientific names

[Richard Jensen]

Seems to me the simplest thing to do is to contact Mr. Lewis and give 
him some advice.   I just sent him an e-mail advising him of the 
concerns expressed on Taxacom (no names mentioned).  If he replies, I 
will let you know.

Cheers,

Dick J
