Hello, For those of you who can read French: The publisher of the Faune de France has decided to offer as PDF files several older volumes out of print, in particular 6 (Anthomyidae), 13 (Diptera Brachycera) and 17 (Asilidae) by E. S?guy. http://www.fauned...eNumerique Pierre Duhem |

Wow. And using a Creative Commons licence too. I'm highly impressed! The Dolichopodidae volume by O. Parent is still very useful and I use it weekly. For some genera (especially around Medetera) it's obsolete, but for many others it's still the best general key to the European fauna. Kahis |

Merci Pierre - I have downloaded these and a couple of them will be really useful. I am pleased to say that my French seems to be just about good enough to cope

Jorge, check the Creative Commons licence page for details, but as a summary: YES, you are allowed to translate it, with the following restrictions: 1. You must acknowledge the source (ie. it's still Parent's book, not yours 2. Non-commercial only, so you cannot sell it (I'm not sure or selling without profit is allowed) 3. Your translation must remain under the same licence If you translate, it is probably wise to update nomenclature and add notes on taxonomic changes. Perhaps such translations could be made in a collaborative way, using a Wiki for example. Kahis |

Hi folks! I'm happy to see that this information could be useful for some of you. Some of those works are still interesting, and some are still up to date, as Kahis told. Anyway, it is interesting to see how dipterist worked and thought in the past. In particular, S?guy's books are always wonderful because of the unique combination of painter/drawer and dipertist of this man. Pierre Duhem |
