An exemplary of C. brasiliensis, a species in the C. major complex

- ALT1:... that the Callichirus major ghost shrimp has been endangered due to its extraction for living fishing bait?

@Leefeni de Karik: ghost shrimp is a disambiguation page. Could you replace the references in the ALT hooks with the correct link? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:09, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Species complex in speciesbox

I set up the speciesbox (after doing the higher taxonomy) this morning. The rank "species_complex" doesn't register - so I substituted subgenus - but this probably isn't quite right ... suggestions? Roy Bateman (talk) 13:26, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
