Hi, Sorry, only one pic but here it is. Taken on 10th July 2009 in my garden near Lincoln UK. This is about the last of possible Tachs, I have a few probable Calliphorids apart from my many Sarcs.  Janet

Well, I think the current name is T.nigripes - but I get confused about that too

Well that might cause my records to be wrong, I have sent it to Chris as T. nigripes but I will leave that to Chris to sort out. There is a previous name from 1794 Thelaira nigripes, if that doesn't confuse any further. |

I think currently all UK records for T.nigripes/nigrina are T.nigripes in the sense that we use the name today. I think Christer Bergstrom has proposed some changes to the taxonomy of Thelaira that would see a different/new species called T.nigrina but I am not sure how far this has gone or whether his paper has been published. Personally I would find this very confusing unless the differences were very easy to spot.
