N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

This is a rather strange looking specimen, it neither looks like D. affinis nor D. felix-mas, anyone any ideas? Can you figure out the location as well?

[Chris Liffen]

Location might read Marwood - (Barnstaple or Barnard Castle) ?

[qgroom]

I think you are right, I've changed it to Marwood Devon, because that is more likely with Painter as the collector.
