The problem (not for the first time) seems to involve the BPGS list, where the second item above appears.

Yes, the "Erikss" name is certainly looking very suspect so I have asked Paul Kirk to give his opinion on it ... I am sure it needs to go but I'd just like to know which taxon it is a junior synonym of ;)

Re: Exobasidium vaccinii ...

Thanks Murdo - all Ceranthia lichtwardtiana will be very gratefully recieved! :D   Peter Chandler turned up a very nice Hyalurgus lucidus the other day up in your neck of the woods, so watch for tachinids with grey thorax and orange abdomen & legs :)
