I have a copy of 'Flies of the British Isles' by Colyer and Hammond, published in 1951. It refers to Oedoparea as a genus of the Coelopidae family and names three species (O. glauca, O. oblita and O. buccata) - but I can find no references on the web regarding the genus. Has there been a name change or reorganisation of the family? Alan |

The only fly I know of with the name buccata is Heterocheila buccata which is in Heterocheilidae, which used to be in Dryomyzidae on my Checklist, but used to be Heteromyza (genus) according to F.E.,confusing stuff. Don't know if that helps....know nothing about flies...sorry, only know it 'cause I've photographed it....it lives on beaches. Edit; Maybe Stephane Lebrun will know, he's always trailing around on beaches  .
