Topic: Hyles livornica?

When searching for Hyles livornica on the NBN atlas the first return is Hyles livornica (Esper, 1779) (accepted name Hexomyza sarothamni).

This doesn't seem right as one is a Lepidoptera & one a Diptera - can this be checked please?

Thanks (& sorry if I'm missing something obvious!)

Kirsty

Hi Kirsty - this was a bug in the first release of the NBN Atlas data. It should be fixed now :)
