Hi, i have started to collect flies from Retezat National Park and interested to do a similar thing like Gordon. ( http://www.dipter...orum_id=26 ) some information about this area can be found here: www.retezat.ro all will/are collected with the net (at leas for now i don't have any trap) so more likely will no be hundred and hundred of specimens and tubs. please let me know who is interested in material (this will no be sended very often because the mail will be paid from my pocket and my 300 euro salary is not to much). for now: Syrphidae will go to amalia_raluca Mycetophilidae and Empididae to Paul Beuk Dolichopodidae i will try to do myself, if is the case (and will be) maybe someone want to give some help. Bombyliidae, Mythicomyiidae and Pipunculidae to David Gibbs Tachinidae to Chris Raper and Theo (?) Faniidae, Muscidae (Hydrotea) & Sciomyzidae to Nikita Vikhrev Lauxaniidae and Heleomyzidae to Katerina Dvorakova Ephydridae to Tony Irwin Chamaemyiidae to Steve Gaimari Opomyzidae and Clusiidae to Jan Willem Lonchaeidae to Iain MacGowan Agromyzidae to Milos Cerny Tephritidae, Pallopteridae, Otitidae and Platystomatidae to Petr Herman Tabanidae to Libor Dvorak Psychodidae to phil withers Calliphoridae to Susan R Walter Will be very good if you will be interested to publish all the data, i will try to find all article from the area on subject. Paul later if will be he case and will be interest can you make from this a section?

I will, at the background for the moment, start to create a usergroup and a subforum (hidden for those who are not in the usergroup) for the Retezat NP Survey. Let me know when you are ready to make announcements for the selected usergroup alone and I will activate the forum.

I'm sure Theo would like to do the tachinids but if he doesn't mind I would be interested to see some. I don't see enough material from Central Europe so it would be good fun  On the subject of postage, have you thought of setting up something liek a PayPal account for people to send you donations? I know if I can keep the specimens I would be happy to send you some money for postage - it's not fair that you have to pay for everything just because you are running the scheme

I'd take Fanniidae with a pleasure, Sciomyzidae if you want. Muscidae - several groups - Hydrotaea, for example.

Hi Chris & Nikita, i will update the post. Chris i will keep tachinids for you and Theo (you think he will be interested also in Tabanidae?). About creating a PayPal, i think i will manage without (is for science and for Retezat ). Nikita i think i cans split Scyomizidae, but to split Muscidae/Faniidae/Anthomiidae or Hydrotea i'm not sure if i will know how. just started to learn something here  |

Hi Cosmin I'll tackle any ephydrids - you could send them to David Gibbs (who may be interested to see them anyway) and who could then pass them on to me - it may save a bit on postage! Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |

Happy to do the Chamaemyiidae, like for Kerkini. Not very common, but you'll probably get some. Also, happy to help with lauxaniids if needed. Cheers, Steve Steve Gaimari Plant Pest Diagnostics Lab, CDFA 3294 Meadowview Road Sacramento, CA 95832-1448, USA |

Hi Cosmin, though not related to diptera: Two years ago I?ve spent some days with L. Krieglsteiner, a german mycologist, in Muntii Retezatului. Result was a large list of Retezat fungi-species. If you?re interested, I?ll send you his mail-adress via "PM" to contact him. Ralph One of these days I?ll visit this great region again. Greetings to the donkeys and the young (at that time) white dog at casa academiei. Ralph |

Hi Ralph, nice to hear about that and off course that i'm interested in the list, specially if something was published. please let me know when you will come in Retezat and also if you will need any permit si i can help you that. i will try to send your greetings. until then here i'm with a horse (young one) with blue eyes (first time for me to see blue eyes on a horse). (photo made by my girlfriend, Gabriela). all around there is Retezat, more or less in the middle, near the Bucura lake. cosmln cosmln attached the following image:  [85.01Kb] Edited by cosmln on 15-07-2008 11:02 |

Hi Cosmin, If you would like me to identify the Opomyzidae for you, please let me know. I would be very interested. I'm also interested in identifying Clusiidae. Jan Willem van Zuijlen |

I suppose that you know work of Constantineanu and al. (Iasi) which determined many Ichneumonidae de Retezat!

Hi, seen some notes only in the big Fauna volumes. if you have some Retezat article as pdf i will like o have hem or at least the reference title. by the way: are you interested in Hymenoptera from there (a least now i collect only Torymidae and related for a friend from Iasi, Irinel Popescu). cosmln |
