Dear colleagues,
My compilation of checklist and keys to North European genera and species of Dolichopodidae is now formally published. I have prepared pdf file containing the book (1 MB). I am ready to send it by e-mail. I am very sorry that my Institute is not able to send paper copies abroad. If you wish to get paper copies for your institution library, please transfer me by any way some money for post service mainly: 20 Euro (or 25 USD) or equivalent in Roubles for one copy. Please ask me for details.
