Hi Dave.
Just some additional info.
First name (Genus), first letter capitalized, Second name (species), first letter lowercase. A third name may be added, (sub-species) depending on the taxonomist/discoverer, first letter also lower case. Names are usually italicized, e.g., Chelonia mydas or if the graphical interface doesn't allow it, it is underlined separately, e.g., Chelonia mydas
My basic biology professor in my freshman year back in university was so strict about this, and including the spelling of sci names... ah memories...
She should have seen the effects of that training when I write or evaluate reports..
