Yeah I can imagine that. I know whenever the latin issue came, it was like Chinese wanted to use Chinese and British wanted to use English!!! But alls well that ends well. BUT, frankly, at some corner of my heart I am unhappy with this removal of compulsion of latin diagnosis. Latin diagnosis helped in publication of good and reliable new species. Now any one who wants to name a new species will do it easily and like to be unscrupulously. Pankaj
