Topic: Acantholyda (Itycorsia) posticalis (Matsumura, 1912)

Hi Chris, I've recorded the above sawfly, but when I enter it in to iRecord/R6 the recommended name allocated to it is Acantholyda posticalis Thomson, 1871 misident. This is rather odd - as it's not a misident!  Any ideas what's going on?

Cheers
Ian

Hi Ian

Not sure whether we fixed this in the meantime or whether it's a R6/iRecord issue but I have the following now which seems ok? :

   =Acantholyda nemoralis (Linnaeus, 1758) Thomson, 1871 misident.   
   =Acantholyda pinivora Enslin, 1918   
   =Acantholyda posticalis Thomson, 1871 misident.   
   =Tenthredo stellata Christ, 1791   
   =Itycorsia pinivora Enslin, 1917   
   =Itycorsia stellata (Christ, 1791) preocc.   
   =Acantholyda (Itycorsia) posticalis (Matsumura, 1912)   
   =Itycorsia nemoralis   
   =Itycorsia posticalis Matsumura
