Hello Everyone, I am not an expert at identifying Arthropods, nevertheless I am trying to build a virtual collection by taking closeup pictures of everything that I find. I have developed CombineZ a program to help with the depth of focus problem and am now taking pictures whenever I can. There are many flies on my website and I would be pleased if you could visit it and let me know of any mistakes I have made when naming them, just scroll down to the family you are interested in and dive in:- http://www.hadley...der.co.uk/ I also have a page where I list all of my new species (to me not to science) at the moment there are a few Tipulids that I would like confirmation/help with:- http://www.hadley...uk/new.htm Thank's to Paul for this resource on the web I will place a link to it on my site in due course.

Limonia 1 of 6/6/2004 resembles Neolimonia dumetorum, as illustrated in the French Le guide entomologique by Patrice Leraut and Philippe Blanchot. A species of humid forests.

Tephritidae: Campiglossa spp. look to be misidentified - these are different species, but Tephritidae 1 is, indeed, C. loewiana. Urophora "jaceana" looks to be a solstitialis, but U must see the aculeus tip on a slide under higher magnification to ID. The rest is ok, congratulations! Val |

Tachinidae: Most seem OK but these are my comments: * "Alophora" isn't used as a genus now (only subgenus) - change to Phasia * I need to see the "Tachinidae" specimens because I can't see enough features on the photos to key them and they're not instantly recognisable to me  * I would like to see the "Tlephusa" specimen because this would be a very good record - if it were true (which I doubt)  PM me if you want to send me any specimens Chris R. |

Tachinidae 1&2 = Eriothrix rufomaculata 'Tlephusa' seems to be Epicampocera succincta,but difficult to see THeo |

Thank you Alan: I must confess I am one of those people who use your program. May I give you an advice: please do not post poor quality pix. Your program works excellent, especially if the light is good, but it seems to me that the pix I saw could play a role of anti-advertizing. Just to show what your software can do (the pix were taken through the eyepiece of a common binocular by a 5 mp Nikon soapbox; instead of a grip, it was joined to the microscope tubus by a piece of a small plastic bottle and a piece of common boxbottom foam. Here you are. This is Herina merzi Kameneva 2007 from Switzerland. I made all the pix for this Elena's paper.
