Flies (Dipteria) have had an important role in deepening scientists'understanding of modern biology and evolution. The study of flies has figured prominently in major advances in the fields of molecular evolution, physiology, genetics, phylogenetics, and ecology over the last century. This volume, with contributions from top scientists and scholars in the field, brings together diverse aspects of research and will be essential reading for entomologists and fly researchers.

Australians have stewardship of a beautiful, diverse and unique environment. We have long had a sense that the biodiversity of this country is special. Yet, despite our sense of its importance, in many parts of our country biodiversity is in trouble. Given the economic, ecological and social importance of biodiversity to our nation, CSIRO has been conducting research into Australia's biodiversity for nearly 90 years. This research has not simply focused on quantifying the challenge, but also on identifying practical solutions for its sustainable management. Biodiversity: Science and Solutions for Australia aims to provide access to the latest scientific knowledge on Australia’s biodiversit...
"Prorates Melander, Alloxytropus Bezzi, Caenotus Cole, and Caenotoides Hall (the Prorates group) of the Bombyliidae subfamily Proratinae share the following apomorphies with the Scenopinidae: male eyes divided into regions of large facets dorsally and small facets ventrally, scutum lacking large setae, wing cell bm acute apically, an area of modified setae on abdominal tergite two of both sexes; epandrium divided longitudinally into two sclerites, distiphallus bifid or trifid, and spermathecae reduced from three to two. A cladogram of the Prorates group of genera and representative Scenopinidae is presented. The Scenopinidae plus the Prorates group of genera form a monophyletic group and the...
