Hiya Peter! Actually, Walter isn't on the list anymore... a couple of
us thought he was ticked off at us but when we said "hello" on the
weekend he explained the situation: There are a couple of ML that he
needs for his work, that take precedence over RML traffic that was
putting a strain on the small server where he works, so he had to
regrettably desubscribe.

Regards, Andrew Boyd

Actually it is not formerly anything other than M. mogurnda before it
was recognised as being an undescribed species. M. balcoonensis had been
tacked on in the past but will never be used as a scientific name for
this fish now as it would be declared a nomen nudem. And before you all
ask, a nomen nudem is an invalid name given to a fish, ie, the name is
used for that species without any description associated with it. There
are also several other probable causes too, but Dr Ivantsoff would be
most qualified to answer this as he knows the nomenclature rules better than
anyone else on the list.
