Dear colleagues,

This year's issue of the Chironomus Newsletter on Chironomidae Research has now been published and can be downloaded from the journal website http://www.ntnu.no/ojs/index.php/chironomus.

The newsletter was delayed for several reasons, but we hope that you will find the articles and news interesting reading.

Thanks to all authors for their contributions!!

Best regards
Torbjørn Ekrem
co-editor

Slowly but diligently, -- and now I have ca. 140 pages of paperless articles. Some are based on new finds of dipterans made by the members of Diptera.Info.

At the International Congress of Dipterology in San José, Costa Rica I just heared that Paul Freeman, former Keeper of Entomology at the British Museum (Natural History) died a few days ago. Besides a lot of work on Chironomidae het worked on several other groups of Nematocera. Many of the NW European dipterists will be most acquainted with 'Freeman and Lane', the Handbook for the Identification of British Insects on Bibionida and Scatopsidae.
