John,
I have just now registered your Endoclita fahringeri on ZooBank: http://zoobank.org/References/6B36AB69-E80B-45C5-B383-590AA8478EC4
Cheers,
Stephen

 Thanks Tony. That did a
 little better - at least for 2015 names. So the
 question is, if Zoo Record picks up on the
 names how come the other data
 bases do not?
 Is Zoo record not incorporated into these other
 databases?
 Not implying any criticism as I
 appreciate that this is a massive endevour,
 but just interested to know the workings a
 little better.
 
 Interestingly, Zoo Record did not pick up on a
 couple of species published
 in The European
 Entomologist. I will check with them to see if they know
 whether Zoo Record includes their journal (I
 realize that some journals are
 not covered
 by Zoo Record which is one deficiency).
