Last month my paper with Vera Silva on Eurychoromyiidae (now Eurychoromyiinae, a subfamily of Lauxaniidae) was published:
Gaimari, S.D., & V.C. Silva. 2010. Revision of the Neotropical subfamily Eurychoromyiinae (Diptera: Lauxaniidae). Zootaxa 2342: 1-64.
open access here
Cheers,
Steve

Thank you Steve! I am really impressed: after almost one century of enygmatic existence in one type, it has got an ansewer! Some 8 years ago, in D.C. I have heard a little from Alessandra about your interest to this group. Now - congratulations! I believe it deserves Nobel Prize!

It is very interesting! Really suprising, that some species are so widely distributed yet remained unknown for such a long time.

Oh, joy and tribulations, finally we
loose a family of Diptera!
Good publication, with just one critisism (at least concerning the pdf version, dunno about the printed version): many of the photos are too bright.

Bright....I imagine they would be a proverbial font of knowledge in comparison with a certain ex-President who failed to have the opportunity to eat pretzels often enough.
