Sample Problem

Relevant IRN(s): 203998, 206189

What is the problem: Cucullaea morani Waring, 1914 is accepted with respect to EPICC taxonomy, but is unaccepted in the Cretaceous. According to Squires, the accepted name in the Cretaceous is Nemodon morani.

Currently, in EMu, C. morani is an accepted name and N. morani is its synonym.
