I remember no paper on protrandry in Diptera at present accept some notes on phenology for single species. There are papers and book chapters of general entomology dealing with it. I think that almost all Brachycera are protandrous. In some cases mated females are living very long and could be the only hibernating sex occuring in the following spring.
