Topic: Tephroclaena halterata/oraria

I believe that the species of heleomyzid currently called Tephroclaena halterata on the NBN and in iRecord has been changed back to T. oraria. This is from the Diptera checklist on the Dipterists Forum website "4. The name halterata (Meigen, 1830) was used for our Tephrochlaena species by Gorodkov (1984); Collin proposed oraria as a replacement name for halterata sensu Czerny, 1924; this conclusion was correct (Andrzej Wo?nica pers. comm.) so the name oraria is now restored."
