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.

Thanks in advance!

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.
