Thread subject: Diptera.info :: What does cf. mean in a taxon?

Hello,

While browsing the gallery, I saw Gerard Pennards's Anthomia pluvialis pictures. The taxon is written "Anthomia cf. pluvialis". What does this "cf." exactly mean? Probably? Rather quite sure but not 100%?

Thanks in advance for your comments.
