Katja Schulz commented on "The Robber Flies (Diptera: Asilidae) of Virginia USA":
@Paul Bedell: I'm not sure if ITIS or Catalogue of Life are more up to date here. The Diptera Site, which is the source database for the Catalogue of Life, has Asilus flavipes as a Nomen Dubium, but does not seem to know about Neoitamus flavofemoratus at all. If you want to change the page name to Neoitamus flavofemoratus, you can do this yourself. Simply go to the Names tab of the Neoitamus flavofemoratus/Asilus flavipes page and select ITIS as the preferred classification. This will change the title of the page to Neoitamus flavofemoratus. Let me know if you need any additional information.

@Katja Schulz: Its good to see the MCZ images! But somehow, Neoitamus flavofemoratus has been changed to Asilus flavipes. This is an invalid junior synonym according to ITIS.

We now have specimen images for a few more of these thanks to a recent new data load from Harvard MCZ.

Paul Bedell commented on "Laphria grossa (Fabricius, 1775)":
ITIS lists both a Laphria grossa (Fabricius, 1775) and L. grossa shi 1993. A google search came up with this http://www.archive.org/stream/CentreForEntomologicalStudiesAnkaraMiscellaneousPapers145/MP145_djvu.txt which proposes changing the homonomy to Laphria shi.
