The Dipterists Handbook was written 30 years ago - I'm not sure whether more recent rearing records of (British) acrocerids include other families of spiders. Certainly other families are involved in North America.
The Amateur Entomologists' Society has plans to revise the Dipterists Handbook, and publish a completely new edition. Although aimed primarily at British Dipterists, there will be plenty of useful up-to-date information for everyone when it appears. :)


Ooh, what excellent news! Please please please do a updated edition of this gem of a book! I'll buy two :D I have the original and it's a perfect introduction to the wonderful (and weird) world of flies.
