Welcome to JungleDragon, Oddfeel. Looks like you need some help with identifying species. You requested the creation of a new species "Hottentotta". This is incorrect in two ways:

- It is not a species, it is a genus. A species concerns a single organism in a genus, so you need to get more specific.

- You should only use the "request manual species" option as an exception, when JungleDragon does not recognize a species. In this case, you did not enter a valid species name.

I hope this helps, you can reply to this comment if you have any questions. Posted 10 years ago
