Topic: Diptera: Asilidae: Dioctria

Hi Chris, just stumbled across the fact that the robberfly Dioctria baumhaueri has two recommended names in the UKSI, one of which appears to be a typo: Dioctria baumhauer (without the final "i").

The correct version seems to be NBNSYS0000007915:

The typo version is NHMSYS0020734165:
http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/ … hauer.html

Unfortunately the vernacular name (Stripe-legged Robberfly NHMSYS0020734220) has been linked to the incorrect typo version, so that will need re-linking.

Both versions of the scientific name appear in the taxonomic hierarchy.
