Taxacom: [EXT] Re: Calotheca, insect or protozoan, or both?

[David Campbell]

More generally, homonymy (including misspellings) is quite often bad news

Linking names extracted from miscellaneous sources to indications of the
higher taxon would often help as well, e.g., decreasing confusion between
the lichen and the gastropod Graphis.
