Pterodontia misella explained

Pterodontia misella is a species of small-headed flies (insects in the family Acroceridae). It is very close in appearance to Pterodontia flavipes, and was considered a synonym of it by Curtis Williams Sabrosky in 1948.^[1] However, this synonymy has not been adopted by later authors, and P. misella is still recognised as a distinct species.
