[Syrphidae] Re: Querie: when to accept a species as new to thefauna?

[Frank Van de Meutter]

Hey André,
for Belgium I simply require "proof" for any new species seen. Proof can be of any type, but it should be conclusive. If this is achieved by photograps, fair enough. Though I still advise observers to collect, as taxonomy is very versatile.

greetings

Frank

Yes! But I am trying to collect opinions!
And if there are any regulations written down about this subject, in this changing time of digital photography...
Ik ontvang alleen nog maar voorbeelden, haha, en geen visies of ideeën van deez of geen...

Groetjes, André

We accepted a species of springtail as new for the Dutch list based on a picture of an insect (was it a grashopper?) that accidentilly also captured the springtail. For once, the springtail was unique in having a zebra stripe pattern and thus even recognizable when it was slightly out if focus.
