Thank you and you.
I proud with the Fourth place.
First. There is an estimation for Dolichopodidae - 13000 species (Dan Bickel).
Second. Any estimation should correspond with real dynamics of new species descriptions. This number for Dolichopodidae is 100-200 species per year.
What about the other top families?
Regards,
Igor.
