Well, I guess there are some difference denoting "aspidisca" in Traditional and Simplified Chinese. However, I am wondering wether there are some indices for "aspidisca cicada = aspidicsca costata."
RaffaellaG (asker) Mar 25, 2007:
what should the correct pronounciation for 楯 be in 有肋楯纤虫 ? dùn or shūn ?
RaffaellaG (asker) Mar 25, 2007:
yes
liz askew Mar 25, 2007:
