Abstract
The purpose of this application, under Articles 23.9.3 and 81.2.3 of the Code, is to conserve the specific name Megaselia abdita Schmitz, 1959 for a widespread Holarctic scuttle fly by giving it precedence over its senior subjective synonym Megaselia griseipennis (Santos Abreu, 1921), which has long been treated as a nomen dubium. A growing literature exists using the name M. abdita. It is proposed that the name Megaselia abdita be given precedence over Megaselia griseipennis (Santos Abreu, 1921) to avoid confusion.
