Topic: Kritempis livida

Hi Chris, I'll defer to your dipteristic-knowledge, but does Kritempis livida need adding as a synonym of Empis livida? I.e. has the subgenus been raised (or sunk at some point)? I can't find any literature sources, but the name Kritempis livida does seem to be used round and about.

Hi Charlie

I'm not that good, sadly - you need a Peter Chandler for a question like that :) 

I can tell you which tachinid you have caught though :D
