Dear Susan,
I have a copy of the book by R. Bieler. As far as I can see, he does not
use the exact words "an unresolved species complex". Here is what he does
say:
pp. 276-277, in the 'Pseudotorinia architae-group' section: "Many nominal
species have been described for Recent and fossil members of this group (e.
g. ." [nine examples are given.] "Their synonymy, especially of names based
on Atlantic fossil material, is only partly resolved. The present data
allow only a preliminary grouping. New names in this group should not be
introduced without further study of the fossil material."
Is this all you need? There are other places in the species accounts where
the author discusses problems with this group, but the passage above is the
closest I could find to your quote.
If John scans the pages of the section for you you should be able to see
everything that is said.
Warm regards,
Bill Fenzan
Norfolk, VA
