Irina, local names can be added on the same link as the other form of the Old. The source can not even indicate bo no single registry of Russian names never conducted.
ZYLord, I offer ustakanilos to rule that the Russian names are written always in small letters (of itself, except at the offers and similar cases), ie, not copper-butterfly maritime and coastal copper-butterfly, and even, even - no copper-butterfly Filipeva and copper-butterfly Filipeva. At different botanists, zoologists but because if I remember correctly.Exactly right, probably, again, no, there's nothing at all like about Russian names, but a reference point, if memory serves, to give this invertebrate zoology.
Zzy Mostly online bear the name with a capital letter (though the same Filipeva), but these bug to be corrected. If anyone has any objections - listen / discuss ...
