A new article by cyprinoid (on the behaviour of Hercostomus germanus [Dolichopodidae]) was added today.

Dear Diptera lovers and entomologists!

Today I received an email announcing the publication of CesaNews 51. To my delight I found out it is largely composed of a list of the Turkish Diptera. I recommend that everyone has a look at it and perhaps even contribute information to expand the list. The present number of 1720 species must be a small fraction of what really occurs in that huge country. The link to the the CesaNews issue can be found in the downloads section.

Walter Rossi (valter.rossi@univaq.it), of the University of L'Aquila (Italy), has been working for a long time on Laboulbeniales, which are parasitic fungi on insects. He is now preparing a monograph on the Laboulbeniales parasitic on Diptera. He will greatly appreciate receiving flies from any country bearing these fungi.

His address is: Department Environmental Sciences, University of L'Aquila, I-67100 Coppito (AQ), Italy.
