This article ("'Mythical' corpse-eating fly rediscovered in Europe" by Sam Clench July 09, 2013) suggests Centrophlebomyia anthropophaga is another scientific name. Jason Quinn (talk) 14:54, 9 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Here's another article ("'Mythical' Corpse-Eating Flies" by Douglas Main, 03 July 2013) that uses that name. It say that this name is for a new species of bone-skipper. Maybe this article is conflating different types of bone-skipper? Jason Quinn (talk) 14:59, 9 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
