If you want to check on names of flies in the British fauna, use
http://www.dipter...search.php. Just type in the genus or species name, and you should get an answer. But remember that the ending can change, depending on the gender of the genus, so
Laphria marginata has become
Choerades marginatus. If you type in "marginat" the search facility will return both
marginata and
marginatus (as well as
immarginatus).
