Re: Core conservation species? adding filamentosum

I think the official word is that it needs to be a core species.  If you
get two pairs to spare, I will work with y'all on trying to bulk it up.
The Ouidah are pretty common (I've got some and four different sources for
them) as are the deltaense, and the GCKA has a deltaense working group as
well.  Now australe, that's an idea  ;-)   I'm really glad for your help!
