German common name for Palio dubia

July 30, 2005
From: Dirk Schories

Dear seaslug participants,
I am looking for a German name of the species "Palio dubia ", but did not find any in the literature. If somebody of you knows a name or can suggest a name (will be published by KOSMOS in a small booklet), it would be great if you can send it to me.
Greetings

Dear Dirk,
I am not very much in favour of common names. The fact that you can't find one easily seems to me to demonstrate that there isn't a common name - in the sense of a 'commonly used' name. I suspect you are going to have to make one up - which will prove that the name you make up isn't a 'common' name. Why not encourage the 'common' people to use the only true, universal name for the species, which is Palio dubia.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
