Hi, I wonder about the meaning of some species epithets in Calliphoridae and Muscidae
1. Calliphora
genarum (Zetterstedt, 1838). Is it simply genitive plural of gena=cheek?
2. Bellardia
bayeri (Jacentkovský, 1937). Named after a person, I assume?
3. Neomyia
cornicina (Fabricius, 1781)
Thanks in advance for your help!
