Grabdornen, surely spines on the cerci for egg-laying in soil or sand?
Paul Beuk 14 November 2014 11:00:28
graben -> to dig. First request was for Grabdomen which is 'burial dome', LoL.

The literal translation of Grabdornen is grave (Grab ) thorns (Dornen). I think the best English translation is "spines".

I just tried to join ResearchGate, but apparently you need an institute email to be let in - by scientists for scientists pah - armchair bureaucrats. Sad

Also I would like a PDF of a key to the families of flies suitable for Chinese material - if anybody can help. Shock
