| Abstract: | Comprising research information from around the world, this text, dedicated to the memory of Graham B. Fairchild, a renowned entomologist, contains 27 individually authored chapters on the order Diptera. The initial two chapters include a biographical sketch and reminiscences of G.B. Fairchild, along with a list of his publications. The remaining chapters examine the biology, ecology, and taxonomy of the following families: Tabanidae, Psychodidae (including Phlebotominae), Simuliidae, and Muscidae. Tables, end-of-chapter references, taxonomic keys, an index of new taxa described in the work, distribution maps, sketches, and black-and-white photographs accompany the volume. The book will benefit entomologists, agriculturists, ecologists, and parasitologists. |
