Topic: Calliphora alpina/stelviana

If I have understood things correctly, Calliphora alpina (Zetterstedt, 1845)     TaxonVersionKey: NHMSYS0020442300 should be subsumed in Calliphora stelviana (Brauer & von Bergenstamm, 1891)     TaxonVersionKey: NBNSYS0100002149.  At the moment they are returned separately.

Re: Calliphora alpina/stelviana

Well spotted Murdo - that does indeed look to be doubled-up. I have now synonymise alpina under stelviana. Many thanks :)
