Three years ago this species was quite abundant in one area of the common near me but i havn't seen it since.
Found one group on old cow dung (the hard lumps put out by scrub feeding cattle rather than the soggy cow pat).
Like Chris's comment about scientific name rather than latin name as really we might call them psudo-latin names in that the original users of latin confronted with a list of scientific names would look bemused (probably) and possibly ammused. Aparently Carl linnaeus who started the binominal "latin" system was a bit impish and literal translation of some things he named could make one blush.
