Swedish dipterist Hans D Bartsch says the name should be Berkshiria hungarica, and so does Fauna Europaea. I'm submitting it to gallery as B. hungarica.
I really wonder what is the proper name for this species. Rozkosny synonymised
hungarica with the N. American
albistylum in his Fauna Ent. Scand. book, but apparently this has not been accepted. I asked Dr. Woodley (the author of the World Catalog of the Stratiomyidae) why the synonymy is not accepted in the catalogue; he told me he as unaware of the synomy at the time:o.
Very confusing :(
Rozkosny retracted his statement after Krivosheina (1979; publication in Russian) stated to have found a number of distinguishing characters between Nearctic and Palaearctic specimens. Rozkosny published that in his treatment of European Stratiomyidae.
