There are several more apterous flies without halters, for example in Sciaridae and Cecidomyiidae.

Any chance of a definition and or drawing for epistoma (particularly with reference to Dolichopodidae) in the Glossary?

jorgemotalmeida 05 October 2007 21:44:09

no unique... braulid flies has no halteres as well.

jorgemotalmeida 05 October 2007 21:12:13

as you can see the wings are absent AND this must be AN UNIQUE CASE (or at least extremely rare)... there are no HALTERES! and it is a fly...

Nigel, here you can see the sketch of Aenigmatias. The image will be available for some days though. It is a phorid fly. Very strange fly.

jorgemotalmeida 05 October 2007 20:53:18

there are no photos in the web. I just saw it once in a book - a scheme, not really a photo. But Aenigmatias (correct spelling) is very unusual for a fly. I will try to get a photo of the sketch. :

Jorge - where can we see photo of Aenigmatistes? I don't know this fly.

Igor, are you going to use Scratchpads for your Doli's?

jorgemotalmeida 04 October 2007 08:20:35

Aenigmatias! what a crazy fly!

jorgemotalmeida 04 October 2007 08:14:29

I hope you are not like Jekyll and Hyde.

Paul Beuk 04 October 2007 07:26:48

You only found out just now? Oy!

jorgemotalmeida 03 October 2007 19:42:47

Paul, you appears twice in Members Online Have you a double personality? lol

Paul Beuk 02 October 2007 07:28:53

I guess that depends on how it walks.

crex 01 October 2007 23:14:51

I wonder if Campsicnemius charliechaplini is a funny fly

Checked identification of photos on "Musca domestica" pages on various Wikipedias. Only one of ten had the correct species: The Pennsylvanian Dutch wikipedia sigh.

I think you are right Paul. It must have been a temporary server error. The link is fine now.

Paul Beuk 29 September 2007 19:42:06

Hmm, no problems for me. I click the link, the pdf opens in the browser, and I can save it to my computer. Maybe a server error when you tried.

Paul Beuk 29 September 2007 08:25:28

I will address it later. Thx.
