Ectoparasitic Ceratopogonidae on insects are Forcipomyia and Atrichopogon. Most Forcipomyia are conspicuously hairy or have marked wings.

Other Ceratopogonidae may be predatory on insects or parasitic on vertebrates. Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) are also parasitic on vertebrates, frogs in my area.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
