Dear all,

I'm currently studying communication in frogs in southern Brazil, a topic which have lead me to test the influence of illegitimate receivers on the acoustic signals of diurnal stream frogs. I recorded an interesting interaction of calling frogs and parasitic flies, briefly described in a recent paper (http://booksandjo...ll-live-02), and as a result of this I'm now using modified suction traps with frog calls as baits, in order to collect such insects. As a herpetologist, I have some questions regarding identification of diptera and hope you could kindly help me:

1) Which taxa of diptera (family and genera) have you collect with acoustic traps, or does the specific literature cite as frog parasites, attracted by phonotaxis? I have already identified Corethrella spp. in my material, and possibly Uranotaenia;

2) Regarding the mosquitoes in the attached figure, do you agree or disagree with my id as Uranotaenia? Images are out of scale and this material was prepared only for teaching purposes.

3) Regarding the second supplementary video of my paper, could such parasite flies be Uranotania, or which other diurnal taxa? (http://booksandjo...o/x-ms-wmv)

Though I may be asking too much here, I think this topic could be a nice place to discuss this issue.

Thanks in advance
