Hi Gunnar, my study covers all Black Sea Region (Turkey), so, i need lots of keys. So far, i'm able to identify some families to the genus and species (if obvious) levels.

Gunnar M Kvifte 15 December 2015 22:46:51

Hi aqua, where in the world is the study based? The availability and quality of keys vary very much between regions

Hello everyone, i'm working on aquatic dipteran families for my phd thesis, could someone suggested to me a good larvae key? Maybe genus or species levels?

Species with mouth parts that appear to be 'similar', like Sargus, do feed on honeydew. I have never seen Hermetia in nature...

Thanks Paul, some sites report that it don't have functional mouth part, other sites say it feed nectar, some publications say it "probably" feed nectar and it's a pollinator.

Paul Beuk 18 September 2015 10:57:02

Sounds like it might be. Do sites that 'say not' state that they do feed or don't they mention anything?

Marcello 14 September 2015 19:42:04

Question: is it true that the Hermetia illucens don't have functional mouth part? Some sites say yes and some other say not. It's a bit confused. Thanks

I'm searching a Muscidae pdf for the New Zealand fauna (Idiohelina genus), I hope someone can help me with a link, thanks in advance!

Marcello 23 August 2015 18:58:37

Thanks Paul, I'll do it

Paul Beuk 21 August 2015 13:52:25

Send a PM to Gunnar.

Yes, prescutellar acrostichals

Prescutellars in Drosophilidae - is that prescutellar achrosticals?
