Chris:
it would be great have more people working on tachinids. Monty has a fantastic amount of knowledge of the group, and did an excellent chapter for the second volume of the Manual of Central American Diptera, but he needs help! Are you going to the Diptera Congress in Costa Rica next year? Perusing the collection at INBio would be a great way to learn a lot about neotropical tachinids quickly.

Paul: Jeff has been active with Neotropical empids, but I'm sure there is more than enough work for several people. Marc Pollet has already offered to organize the dolichopodid people.
The material I have seen from French Guiana has been very interesting. I hope your specimens are as good.
