Biosystematic Database of World Diptera
The BioSystematic Databases of World Diptera (BDWD) is a source of names and information about those names and the taxa to which they apply. The BDWD is a set of tools to aid
users in finding information about flies. The two main components of the BDWD are the Nomenclator and the Species database and internet portal. The BioSystematic Database of World Diptera (BDWD) provides a comprehensive portal to knowledge about these dipterans as well as a framework to organize and integrate current
and future data, information and knowledge. The linnaean system of names provides unique information keys within a hierarchical framework which can map our knowledge of life from a
historical (phylogenetic) perspective.

Diptera types in the Canadian National Collection of Insects
Part 4. Tachinidae. The primary type material of the family Tachinidae (Diptera) housed in the Canadian National Collection of Insects, as of 31 December 1994, is cataloged. The
Tachinidae collection contains 897 holotypes, 239 associated allotypes, 35 lectotypes (no associated allolectotypes), 2 neotypes, and 117 species that are represented by
syntypes. Reference to the original description of each taxon is cited. Label data associated with the specimens are quoted fully, except for paratypes and paralectotypes. A
bibliography and an index to named taxa are provided. Certain lectotype fixations, particularly by Mesnil for nominal species described by Villeneuve, are recognized for the
first time. [eng]

Flies
Diptera are be divided into two suborders, the Nematocera, and the Brachycera. These two suborders can be distinguished morphologically by wing veination and antennal type in the
adult forms, and by ecological habitats. [eng]

Diptera
Flies (Diptera) are one of the most abundant and important groups of animals. Flies are found everywhere and do just about everything. The health of our world is in part dependent on these wonderful creatures. [eng]

Diptera types in the Canadian National Collection of Insects
Part 1. Nematocera: Type material of the nematocerous Diptera housed in the Canadian National Collection, as of 31 December 1987, is cataloged. The collection contains 654 holotypes, 188
associated allotypes, 5 allotypes, 36 lectotypes, and 1 neotype. Fifty-two species are represented by syntypes, 423 by paratypes, and 40 by paralectotypes. Reference to
the original description of each taxon is cited. Label data associated with the specimens are fully quoted, except in the case of paratypes and paralectotypes. A bibliography

Diptera types in the Canadian National Collection of Insects
Part 2. Brachycera (exclusive of Schizophora). The primary type material of brachyceran Diptera (exclusive of Schizophora) housed in the Canadian National Collection of Insects and Arachnids, as of 31 December
1991, is cataloged. The collection contains 819 holotypes, 241 associated allotypes, 10 lectotypes, 4 associated allolectotypes, and 149 species that are represented by
syntypes. Reference to the original description of each taxon is cited. Label data associated with the specimens are fully quoted. An addendum to Part 1 on the types of
Nematocera is included that adds previously overlooked types of Cecidomyiidae, Mycetophilidae, and Thaumaleidae. A bibliography is provided. [eng]

Catalog of the Diptera of the Australasian and Oceanian Regions
Originally published 23 August 1989, this catalog recorded approximately 16,000 species of flies occurring in the vast area of Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, and the Pacific.Since
then, there have been a number of publications that have made it necessary to publish an updated version of the catalog. This web version is intended to present the most up-to-date
version of each family chapter of the catalog and will be continually updated as published information becomes available. [eng]

Intertidal flies of the genus Aphrostylus
Cornish Biological Records Unit. Dolichopodids are small,often metallic, bristly flies found largely in damp habitats. They feed on soft-bodied organisms from which the body fluids are extracted by crushing and
masticating the prey with labella at the apex of the proboscis. The larvae inhabit a range of wet substrates including mud, soil and rotting wood, and like the adults are carnivorous except
for a few species which are phytophagous, developing in the stems of plants. The pupal stage is spent in a cocoon constructed by the final larval instar from detritus held together by a
secretion of the labial glands. Respiration is aided by respiratory horns projecting through the wall of the cocoon.

Stiletto Flies: Therevidae
Worldwide, the family Therevidae (Insecta: Diptera: Asiloidea) is poorly known and among the least understood of the flies
(Order Diptera). Diptera are among the poorest known of the larger insect orders. Yet, this fascinating, medium-sized (>3,000
spp.) family of flies is critical to the sound functioning of arid and semiarid environments, including agroecosystems and forests in
those zones. Individuals of this family are infrequently collected because the adults are usually secretive, frequenting habitats rarely
sampled by collectors. [eng]
