Topic: Scathophaga synonymy

Another inconsistency, Chris.

I was trying to discover something about this genus, and found that S. decipiens, obscura and tinctinervis are returned on the Gateway independently of the same species in Conisternum.  The Diptera dictionary/inventory gives the three under Conisternum.

Re: Scathophaga synonymy

Hi Murdo

Well-spotted, I will get on to those soon. They would of course have come along with the updates to Peter Chandler's list
but that is a much larger, ongoing job so I will do this now.

Many thanks,
Chris R.

Re: Scathophaga synonymy

These have now been synonymised under Conisternum :)
