Topic: Fly synonyms

Hi Chris

Can you add:

Cerajocera tussilaginis (Fabricius, 1775) as a syn of Terellia tussilaginis
Alloneura palliditarsis (Collin, 1931) as a syn of Tomosvaryella palliditarsis
Elaphropeza ephippiata (Fallén, 1815) as a syn of Drapetis ephippiata
Paraphytomyza anteposita (Strobl, 1898) as a syn of Aulagromyza anteposita

Sicodus arrogans as a syn of ..... and this is where my diptera knowledge falls down ! Should this be a synonym of Tachydromia costalis (see https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.p … ;pid=26223 ) or Tachydromia arrogans ?

Let me know if any of that is just plain wrong :-)

Re: Fly synonyms

Hi Charlie

I've done the easy ones here:

Cerajocera tussilaginis (Fabricius, 1775)
tvk NHMSYS0021168755
=syn of Terellia tussilaginis

Alloneura palliditarsis (Collin, 1931)
tvk NHMSYS0021168761
=syn of Tomosvaryella palliditarsis

Elaphropeza ephippiata (Fallén, 1815)
tvk NHMSYS0021168767
=syn of Drapetis ephippiata

Paraphytomyza anteposita (Strobl, 1898)
tvk NHMSYS0021168771
=syn of Aulagromyza anteposita

But the Sicodus arrogans is a problem so I am asking around :)

Re: Fly synonyms

That turned out easier than I thought. Our own Duncan Sivell was able to help out and confirmed that Sicodus arrogans
(NHMSYS0021168805) is a junior synonym of Tachydromia arrogans :)
