Evenhuis, N.L., 2010. Authors of fly names: A preliminary list of all authors who have proposed Diptera names at the family-level or As part of the larger database of Diptera names (from 1994-2008 called the Biosystematic Database of World Diptera [BDWD]; Thompson 2010), I began in the late 1980s to compile an authority file of all authors who had proposed at least one or more names of extant and/or fossil Diptera taxa at family level or below. The need for this list stemmed from two focal points: 1) to provide a unambiguous (i.e., unique) identifier for every author who proposed a dipteran name; and 2) to provide to a wide user-community basic biographical information on authors of fly names in order to allow accurate identification of these authors and for general interest in just who were these people describing fly names.	4900
