Topic: Plateumaris rustica = Plateumaris affinis

According to the UK Coleoptera Checklist, Plateumaris affinis is a synonym for Plateumaris rustica, with the latter being the preferred name.
At the moment, they are not linked on the NBN so there are entries for both species.

Please can the synonyms be sorted, many thanks,
Stuart Warrington.
