Hello, is this Lipoptena cervi? I found it on 29.6.2015 in our bathroom (Furth im Wald, Bavarian Forest, Germany). Regards Ingrid Ingrid Altmann attached the following image: [113.05Kb] Edited by Ingrid Altmann on 08-07-2015 13:49 |

No, that is Ornithomyia avicularia. Lipoptena cervi flies in late summer till late autumn (and is different). Theo |

Yes of course! But is Ornithomyia or Ornithomya the correct Name Theo? Edited by Ingrid Altmann on 08-07-2015 09:19 |

the title still reads "Lipoptena"...... As for the correct spelling, that depends (possibly) on your definition. If you understand 'proper' as in 'proper ancient Greek', it is more than obvious that the correct spelling is "Ornithomyia" as in all '-myia". If you understand it as "according to the Code accepting hunderds of misspellings by Rondani and a few by others" you have to look it up yourself (for instance at www.diptera.org). I don't care. It is and has been my opinion (like Herting) that science means also correcting mistakes, so that is what I do ! Theo |

Hello Theo, Zeegers wrote: the title still reads "Lipoptena"...... Yes, because at first I wanted to wait for your answer because Fauna Europaea said Ornithomya. I choosed the "correct" Version! ;-) Regards Ingrid |
