MQ said the sequencing didn’t succeed for C. atkinsonianus however, so they don’t have a sequence to back up that ID, that’s the first time I’ve come across that happening in their document. Also, the one they have, despite having a GenBank acquisition number of MT607412, it doesn’t appear to be in there. It is in Bold though.
