Neotropical Ceratopogonidae (Diptera: Insecta). Aquatic Biodiversity of Latin America (ABLA Series)
Borkent, A/Spinelli, GR
This book brings together, for the first time, all known information on the 51 genera and 1095 described Neotropical species of biting midges. An overview of the group includes a discussion of bionomics, adaptations of the various life stages, habitats, their ecological roles (including disease transmission), collecting and preparation techniques, zoogeography and classification. A key to adults (including males) provides the first key to all the genera of this region. Limited keys to eggs and larvae are presented. Keys are written in both English and Spanish. A table of all previous descriptions of immatures and a catalog of all Neotropical species is included.
This book will be of interest to systematists, ecologists, medical entomologists and students wishing to undertake innovative research in a remarkably interesting and instructive group of insects.

Sarcophaginae et Paramacronychiinae du Proche Orient
(Insecta, Diptera, Sarcophagidae)
Lehrer, AZ
Pour la premiere fois dans la litterature dipterologique de la famille Sarcophagidae, on present la synthese taxonomique des sous-familles Sarcophaginae et Paramacronychiinae du Proche Orient, dans une ordre scientifique et avec une nomenclature binominale conformes avec les normes du Code International de Nomenclature Zoologique.
La monographie comprend 82 especes de dipteres, 29 etant decouvertes par l'auteur dans cette region, qui peuvent etre identifiees correctement d'apres les cles de determination et, surtout, d'apres les illustrations originales des structures microscopiques des genitalia males. Dans tous les cas on mentionne leur distribution geographique et, souvent, les descriptions sont accompagnees d'observations critiques et actualisations taxonomiques modernes.
Ce travail s'adresse a tous les biologistes, entomologistes, biogeographes et parasitologues de l'agriculture, sylviculture, medicine humaine et veterinaire, ainsi qu'aux etudiants et les cadres didactiques des domaines de sciences naturelles.
For the first time in the literature concerning the fly family Sarcophagidae, a taxonomic synthesis is provided of the subfamilies Sarcophaginae and Paramacronychiinae in the Near East, this being presented in a scientific way with the use of binominal nomenclature in full agreement with the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
The monograph includes 82 species, of which 29 have been discovered in this area by the author. These species could be correctly identified based both on available determination keys and, above all, the original illustrations of the microscopic structures of the male genitalia. In all cases their geographic distribution is given, often the descriptions being also accompanied by critical observations and taxonomic updates.
This work is addressed to specialists in agricultural and forest entomology, biogeography and parasitology, as well as in human and veterinary medicine. It is also of general interest to students and teachers in the field of natural sciences.

Bengaliidae du Monde (Insecta, Diptera) (Bengaliidae of the World (Insecta, Diptera))
Lehrer, A
This monograph reveals spectacular and previously unknown, taxonomic diversity of the new myrmecophilous dipteran family Bengaliidae. The type and sole genus, Bengalia, has hitherto been placed in the family Calliphoridae. Based on a thorough revision and a detailed study of its morphology, Bengaliidae is shown to represent a distinct family phylogenetically distant from Calliphoridae. The new family actually comprises four subfamilies, 12 genera and 70 species, of which three subfamilies, ten genera and 49 species are described as new. All Bengaliidae appear to be associated with ant nests in the Afrotropical and Oriental regions.
The monograph is richly illustrated with b/w line drawings, giving in detail the characters of, and keys to, all the taxa of Bengaliidae. The male genitalia are depicted for each of the new or revised species. The phylogeny of Bengaliidae and its position within Diptera is also discussed.
Dr. Andy Z. Lehrer is one of the globally leading specialists on Sarcophagidae and Calliphoridae, the author of numerous papers on the taxonomy and biogeography of dipterans. The book is addressed to specialists in the biology and ecology of flies and ants, to generalist taxonomists, biogeographers and evolutionists, as well as any zoological library collecting literature on the above topics.
