Entomoscelis sacra -> dorsalis
Summary: The Entomoscelis sacra became Entomoscelis dorsalis, the Hungarian names did not change.
The izeltlabuak.hu website primarily focuses on arthropods found in Hungary. This entry also deals with Hungarian fauna.
Lukátsi Márk reported that the taxonomy of the previously known Entomoscelis sacra has changed. During a revision, after examining the type specimens, they concluded that the species living on turnips in Hungary should be called dorsalis, while the true sacra lives in most of the Balkans, Ukraine, and the Caucasus.
I have also implemented this change in the species list. The E. sacra became E. dorsalis, and I kept the Hungarian names.
