Hello everyone,

I think that taxonomists prefer the Rondani spelling, which is Tricogena. So you are perfectly fine with that spelling.

I think it was originally Tachina rubricosa (I could be wrong). Anyway, the name Tricogena is of taxonomical value only since Rondani didn't discover the species. Thus, i don't see why the spelling Trichogena is not accepted. I use Trichogena rubricosa on my unpublished website and i have no intentions of changing it. I prefer the hairy-cheeked definition as opposed to the evasive cheeked meaning.

To each his own.

Best wishes,
John
