article for this animal already exists

[edit]

i have found sources stating that Spirorbis spirorbis and Spirorbis borealis are both names commonly used for the same animal Spirorbis (Spirorbis) spirorbis (Linnaeus 1758). the commonly accepted name for this animal appears to be Spirorbis spirorbis, for which a more detailed article already exists on here.

 Question: Are you sure it's the same animal? Spirorbis spirorbis and Spirorbis borealis both seem like different species. — BerryForPerpetuity (talk) 16:23, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
