Hi, does anyone know where I can find more information about this species? There is a type specimen registered in the database of the British Natural History Museum, but I cannot find any formal description of the species. https://data.nhm....rd/6603500 Thanks in advance! Johan Ennerfelt |

I think "(ms)" means "manuscript", a name that was not published. Possibly Spencer decided the specimen was Phytomyza notata, the name he crossed out on the label, before he published the new name. |
