Female Graphomya sp. Muscidae. Either G.maculata or G minor...

I have read (in this forum), G. minor is a synonym to G. maculata (if I remember correctly, stated by Nikita Vikhrev).

Recently Sorokina et al. 2023 published the paper with COI sequences of Graphomya: DOI: 10.1080/00379271.2023.2222026 Author's conclusion is that G. minor is a good species. I still disagree. I interpret their result as follows: there is good species G. rufitibia and widespread and variable G. maculata, including all Arntfield's American "species". Which opinion to choose: up to you.
