Keys of Mesnil in Lindner are usefull if you want to study Tachinidae outside north western of central europe. These books are expensive, difficult to use, out-dated and not complete (Dexiinae and Phasiinae are not included in mentioned volumes, though started in seperate uncompleted volumes).

Salmaciini is old name for Gonia s.l..

For central Europe the key of Tschorsnig & Herting (Die Raupenfliegen Mitteleuropas, 1994) is most usefull, not expensive, nearly up-to-date and complete.
