Re: New Diptera Entry Required for Dictionary

In 2005, Martin Drake was undertaking a survey of various sites in Cheshire and at Byley Hill Farm, Middlewich, Cheshire found 3 male specimens of Rhaphium suave (Loew, 1859) which were new to Britain at that time.  Further specimens were taken in Gwent (2005) and Northumberland (2006).

The paper noting these finds can be seen at:

Can this dipteron be added asap please so that we can get the record onto the database.

Have just checked and it looks as though the other Diptera outlined in this set of papers need to be added to the Dictionary too !!!!!!

Many thanks
