@Michael Wunderli: If you find a source that has information about these spiders, we can try to engage them as a content partner. They would have to be willing to release their content under a creative commons license, though. In this particular example, we could grab (i.e., copy & paste manually) the original description from BHL along with a few anatomical drawings for this species (could be uploaded through our Rapid Response LifeDesk). Unfortunately, there was no habitus drawing in the original description. For many of these species it may be difficult to get anything beyond the original description, and many may never have been illustrated fully.

@Katja Schulz: What i meant was that for exaple here: http://eol.org/pages/1181577/details This species for example is present but has no pictures and no detail information. That was the case with most species I found on that website. Is there something we can do about that?

@Michael Wunderli: All the Haploclastus species are here: http://eol.org/pages/111544/overview Or is that not what you meant?

@Michael Wunderli: You said: "When you search for this species you get 5 different species pages all with the exact same name as a result." -- The first hit is the actual species page, the other ones are Toxoplasma gondii strains that we get from NCBI. I hesitate to merge all of these strains with the species concept, especially since some of them are slated for whole genome sequencing, e.g.: http://genomesonline.org/cgi-bin/GOLD/bin/GOLDCards.cgi?goldstamp=Gi10783 So at some point this strain may actually turn into something that's worth having a taxon page for.

Check out this website, non of the species shown there are present in the eol data. http://www.exoticfauna.com/tarantulabibliography/Haploclastus.html

@Katja Schulz: Very interesting! Thanks for explaining.

@Michael Wunderli: Triticum durum is a subspecies of T. turgidum according to the new, molecular taxonomy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomy_of_wheat But there are still lots of sources that use the traditional taxonomy where durum is treated at the species level. I think it would be premature to force all EOL Triticum concepts to conform to the new taxonomy. I would want to do that only under the guidance of a Triticum specialist.

The link to Plazi.org (source) is not working. The link target is inaccessible.

@Bob Corrigan: Thanks Bob. If you are referring to the thumbnail sizes, I worked out that two of the "proportional" sizes are labelled _98_68 and _580_360. I'd still be interested to know what the 3rd available size is.

@Cyndy Parr: Thanks Cyndy. I'm absolutely sure it used to return both 12132222 and 1057290 before, but as you say, it only returns 1057290 now, so the problem has magically resolved itself! Thanks.

Should note the range bias to the Atlantic versant.

@Yan Wong: Searching for Acanthodactylus bedriagae on the site finds this page: http://eol.org/pages/1057290/ . I tried the API call http://eol.org/api/search/1.0.json?q=Acanthodactylus+bedriagai and it seems to return the same thing. If there was a hiccup in the index it seems to have resolved itself.

@Michael Wunderli: It looks like the status of Prunus insititia is controversial: http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-27800333 http://biodiversitylibrary.org/page/29952771 You can manipulate the name shown as the title of the page by selecting the preferred classification in the Names Tab.
