The main key to UK tachinids (Belshaw, 1993) has recently gone out of print so the RES have asked Matt Smith & I to update its content before it is reprinted (ie. this will be a revision of the whole text, not just a suppliment).

With this in mind we're putting out a general request for suggestions and lists of what people might like to see in the next edition. Obviously, we can't promise to do everything because we're doing this on a voluntary basis and there are time constraints ;) But we're keen to hear from anyone who has used it and has opinions about what is good/bad with the current version. :)

We have our own list of things we'd like to do already - such as: add in the 18 new UK species; update the species accounts and host lists; improve indexing and cross-referencing between keys, species accounts and checklist; list species accounts in alphabetic, not taxonomic order etc etc.

Please feel free to throw suggestions at me in this thread or via PM. :D

Thanks
Chris R.

Hello Chris, I asked for the key at the RES address and they did'nt answer. It's possible to get a copy?

Thanks in advance
