Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A electrophoresis study demonstrates that the common Greenleaf Worm is a complex of two species. The western specimens (including the UK) are assigned to the re-erected species E. claviger, true E. viridis only being found towards Scandinavia, although these ranges are based on only seven samples. |
