Re: New Species
Yes - and I wouldn't be surprised if other species turn up as a result of advanced techniques being applied. Although I'm still irked by the definition of "species" and what it really means ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: New Species
More detailed info here:

"Cryptic Wood White" seems to be the recommended vernacular name, and the "juvernica" subspecies of Wood White would appear to be removed.

Re: New Species
"L.reali occurs in Northern Spain but none of the Irish specimens were identified as reali and taken together with the report’s analysis of ancestry the existence of reali here appears unlikely. It is likely that reali will be replaced on the Irish list by juvernica.".
So - Cryptic Wood White would replace Real's Wood White on the British list!

Re: New Species
Great we are making new discoveries, hopefully this one will turn our right, often have we had scientists trying to make "find" new species in others, some did try and say that the two forms of burnished brass were separate species.
