Well spotted Theo ... a combination of a typo and there seems to be some confusion in the UK literature regarding the correct specific name. The current name should be
Zenillia libatrix (Panzer, 1798) according to Belshaw & FaunaEuropaea but Chandler cites:
ZENILLIA Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830
fulva (Fall?n, 1820 ? Tachina)
=libatrix (Panzer, [1798] ? Musca), preocc.
=macrops (Brauer & von Bergenstamm, 1891 ? Myxexorista)
=ciligera: authors, misident.
=fauna: authors, misident.
which is probably where Ivan's and my confusion has occured. In my current draft of the new British tachinid handbook
libatrix is used :)
