Synonymous and misidentified species

[aammd]

• Tabanidae sp. 5554 (BWG Code: Diptera.249) is the same thing as Diptera.436.
• All individuals of “Tabanidae sp. 5554” were actually Diptera.436 all along — not some other, distinct species, but just mis-identified members of one species.
• The real name for this morphospecies is Hermetia sp. (Stratiomyidae:Hermetiinae:Hermetia)
• There is ONLY ONE morphospecies of Hermetia sp, even though it had different names

in order to correct this, there are two things we need to do:

• [x] change the taxonomy of Diptera.249 to match Diptera.436

• [x] do the same for the "canonical" traits

• [x] confirm that Hermetia is in the spreadsheet
