Let me know which is the European museum has the best collection in Bombyliidae?..


Best type collection probably Berlin. Do not know where best collection is, London has Greathead collection, Paris very good, but you cannot rely on dets in many cases. StPetersburg must have a brilliant collection but very difficult to get access.
