The best family key for Europe is Pjotr Oosterbroek's The European families of Diptera - Identification, Diagnosis, Biology. It costs 608 NOK from www.naturogfritid.no, but it is worth it! You can also get a long way with D. Unwin's 1981 key to families, available here.

Many of the books in the excellent Fauna Entomologica Scandinavica series are partly available through Google Books. Knut Rognes' book covers the Scandinavian Calliphoridae. Not all the pages are available online, though.

The Manual of Nearctic Diptera is available online too, and is an excellent resource for most Diptera groups. It is, however, focused on North America and does thus lack many typical European forms; it is also not completely up-to-date in terms of names and systematics.

I hope that the Contributions towards a Manual of Palearctic Diptera will be available online at some point of time as well.

Viss du fangar nokre Psychodidae er eg interessert i å sjå på dei.
