Talk:Powelliphanta augusta

Name
The name used throughout this article seems a little strange to me. The capital Sp is weird and there should be a space after the "." I would write it '''Powelliphanta sp. Augustus or perhaps Powelliphanta sp. 'Augustus. However my expertise is in bacterial taxonomy so I may be wrong here. Onco_p53 23:16, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I wasn't sure when I wrote it. I thought that until a species is formally described the naming rules weren't as strict. Be my guest... GrahamBould 07:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I could not find an official convention on it but it seems that the convention is a non-italicised name in speech marks after the genus. -- Alan Liefting- ( talk ) - 21:43, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I have now corrected it to the name used in the paper that I reference in the article. The New Zealand Threat Classification System refers to it as Powelliphanta "Mt Augustus" but we should use the name in paper by Trewick et al. -- Alan Liefting- ( talk ) - 21:41, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
