Dear Gerard, Thanks but I am happy to say, sorry all the popular brachycerans got snapped up back at the start, interestingly of the 12 conopid species recorded so far 10 are new records for Greece and the other two are new for the mainland. We have 69 syrphids and 12 stratiomyids so far also, but the stratiomyids might be more now that I will not be sending the smaller ones to the wrong people  . |

Dear Paul, Aren't I sending you enough empids and hybotids that you are looking for more to do? But yes they are nice, there is a book on them in the list I have given my prospective employers, along with the dipteran families book, but who knows when I'll see it. Not before summer that is for sure. Honestly Paul I can't remember how many tubes I sent to Jean-Paul, it was months ago. I have 10 tubes here, with between 1 and say 10 flies per tube. They are never very populous. Today I brought in the first malaise samples of the year, and though I was amazed at how much stuff I caught, more than 15 dipteran families in one sample, there were no empids or hybotids, obviously they don't like winter any more than I do. Even more surprising was 170 weevils, all looking very similar despite a great size range in one trap. This is by far the most weevils for one week. Maybe they were having a conference in the forest.  |

Well, those ten tubes I can handle if the numbers are as you mentioned. I already have one Sepsis fulgens identified for you.

Dear Paul, I have been in contact with Jean-Paul, and he says the Sepsidae I sent him amount to 17 tubes. I suggest I ask him to send these to you, and I keep my ten for some time in the future if you are still interested/willing, by when they will be more (tubes if not species) Gordon |
