Dear All,

Does anybody know the references of a key which allows me to identify Muscidae and Calliphoridae?
Does anybody have a copy for me?

Calliphoridae:
Rognes, K., 1991. Blowflies (Diptera, CAlliphoridae) of Fennoscandia and Denmark. Fauna Entomologica Scandinavica 24: 1-272. (Will cover most of Belgium.)
Erzinclioglu, Z., 1996. Blowflies. - Naturalist's Handbook 23: 1-71, pl. 1-5. (Possibly not complete for Belgian fauna.)

You can try to Contact Guido Van de Weyer, who gave the last update on the Belgian list.

Muscidae:
Assis Fonseca, E.C.M. d', 1968. Muscidae. - Handbooks for the Identification of British Insects 10(4b): 1-119. (Propably covering most of Belgium but likely to miss many more 'continental' species.)
Hennig, W., 1955-1964. 63b. Muscidae. In: Die Fliegen der pal?arktischen Region 7(2) (E. Lindner, ed.): 1-1110, pl. 1-33. E. Schweizerbart, Stuttgart. (Large and outdated, certainly inre spect to nomenclature.)

I do not have copies left,, since these are most;y quite voluminous works. Erzinclioglu's key is probably not too difficult to obtain.

For Muscidae the following might also be useful:

Gregor, F., R. Rozko?n?, M. Bart?k & J. Vaňhara, 2002. The Muscidae (Diptera) of Central Europe.-- Folia Facultatis Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis Masarykianae Brunensis, Biologia 107: 280 pp.

This should also be not too difficult to obtain!

I think for a first approach, you can use the program and the key that they are in this site, in download. I have a very good key from the national history museum ( a fotocopies from a big book), i can send you but it delays a lot because i?m in argentina. Good Luck!

Ehm you say that but ..., I really would like this one. Does anybody know how/where I can order this ? I looked at the Masarykova University and Insecta/Pensoft but see no way to order it - anybody any suggestions. Or possibly which library in Belgum/the Netherlands might have this one?

Thanks, Joris

Thanks, but it seems no longer available from them. (I realize now that it might have been easy to get when the question was first asked, 5 years ago). Joris
