Topic: Fucellia maritima

Hi, I've just added a record of the anthomyiid Fucellia maritima (Haliday) into iRecord by using the casual record option. This species comes up as Fucellia maritima nomen nudum in the species name pick list. Is this correct? This name issue prevented me importing the record with all my other 2019 anthomyiids. The species appears in the current Diptera checklist as Fucellia maritima (Haliday 1838, Scathophaga) with F. maritima (Haliday in Curtis, 1837, Halithea) nomen nudum as a synonym.

Re: Fucellia maritima

That's an interesting one ... the accepted name is Haliday, 1837 which is wrong so I'll demote that, promote the 1837 name and remove nomen nudum from it :)
