CIE Vol. 77 – May/June 2006 -The
Ceratopogonidae Information Exchange Newsletter
Dear
Colleagues,
Greetings! After sending the first version of this issue in May I
received 30
bounced e-mail requests which I have been since been able to update. In addition, I had forgotten
to include
information about Art Borkent’s new FlyTree research website. Also, Art sent information about two
important publications which will add to our knowledge of
Chinese
ceratopogonids. I have included
information
about these in an announcement below.
Much
research has occurred during the past 6-7 months as can be seen in the
52
publications in refereed journals that appear in the Recent Literature
section.
Volume 78 of this newsletter will appear in mid-December, 2006. Please send research summaries, requests for
information, etc. to me by Friday, December 8.
With
kind regards,
Steve
Murphree
