Re: Add Tachinid fly

Please add this one to the Species Dictionary as well:

Bithia demotica (Egger, 1861)

In the UK, all of what we thought were B.modesta turn out to be B.demotica.

Re: Add Tachinid fly

Hi Matt - this has just been done and it came in with an overhaul of the UK Tachinids, as a shiny new Tachinid Recording Scheme checklist. The list includes everything known up to and including Botria subalpina (added by Murdo in March(?)) and also has the latest taxonomic updates ... Ernestia moves to Panzeria; Cyrtophleba moves to Cyrtophloeba; Timavia amoena moves to Smidtia; E.ferruginea moves to Allophorocera etc, etc. Synonyms have been included where possible and will be expanded upon when I have time to add them in to our website first. I have also corrected some mistakes in the old taxonomy.
