Hello Reinoud,

I try to get the new names of Asilidae in our Dutch species system www.waarneming.nl

Is it correct to change:

* Machimus atricapillus to: Tolmerus atricapillus (Fallén, 1814)
* Machimus cingulatus to: Tolmerus cingulatus (Fabricius, 1781)
* Paritamus geniculatus to: Neomochtherus geniculatus (Meigen, 1820)

Regards,
Hedy

Hello Hedy, I reacted also on waarneming.nl. I have had this discussion here before and also mentioned it on w.nl before. I think it is a matter for the Dutch scientists who maintain het Soortenregister. As far as i know only the Dutch and Brits still use the "old" names. So it is Soortenregister vs Fauna Europaea.

I think no one in Holland has studied the new insights yet and agreed on the matter. I haven't found the article yet in which the change of genus is argued.

For observado.org i think it would be wise to use Fauna Europaea as basis. Waarneming is based on Soortenregister.

For now i think we have to live with it:S
