Topic: Cantharis name change
Hi Chris,
There have been some name changes in the British Cantharidae, please could you add these to the species dictionary?
Old name ----> Revised name
Cantharis nigra (De Geer, 1774) ---> Cantharis flavilabris Fallén, 1807
Cantharis thoracica (A.G. Olivier, 1790) ---> Cantharis nigra (De Geer, 1774)
The publication detailing this change is attached.
Geiser, M. F., & Fanti, F. (2015). On the nomenclature of Cantharis nigra (De Geer, 1774) and C. thoracica (AG Olivier, 1790)(Cantharidae) as used in Britain and Ireland. The Coleopterist, 24(3), 164-166.
Thank you!
Steph
