Topic: Therevidae synonym

Hi Chris, it's been pointed out to me that the UKSI has the name Thereva annulata, which is a synonym for the current Acrosathe annulata. UKSI correctly shows Thereva annulata as "not recommended" but it doesn't link it to the recommended Acrosathe annulata. In iRecord, and perhaps elsewhere, this means that both names are being offered as current. Please can the link be added?

Old synonym:

Correct current name:

Re: Therevidae synonym

Hi Martin - yes, all done - I'm always particularly happy to sink an "escaped" synonym :)
