Thread subject: Diptera.info :: De Europese families van muggen en vliegen (Diptera)
#1
A book with identification keys to the European families of the Diptera has appeared, see
http://www.knnvui...ductID=167. It is published by the KNNV publishers (
Dutch and
English), where it can be ordered (though not listed on the English pages because the book is in Dutch).
The book contains identification keys to virtually all families of European Diptera and is written in Dutch by P. Oosterbroek, H. de Jong and L. Sijstermans. An English translation is in preparation.

My copy should arrive in a few days. Time to brush up my nonexistent skills in the dutch language
If the dutch version sold at least 6 copies in Finland, I suspect that and english translation might do better. A lot better

Too difficult for me: Diptera key - one forien language, Dutch - another one
. I'd rather wait for English edition.
By the way. In few weeks I'll make CD copy of both two volume of Diptera of European part of Russia and three volume of Diptera of Far East.
Once Kahis wrote that even without Russian language knowing it is usefull because of numerous illustrations inside.
If somebody need this copy let me know on what adress send it.

Why wait for the english version when I can buy a garbl...sorry, Dutch version today!
Believe or not, I knew about the possibility of an english version when ordering. After a bottle of vodka, Dutch and English look the same to me
BTW. The parcel from Vermandel with the books arrived today, but I haven't opened it yet.

I wish I could say the same of other languages (Finnish, Hungarian, Russian) and Dutch, too!

maybe i agree nikita about helpful images, but i would say that about this book; i bought it a little "hopeless" but now i see it?s not as difficult to use as i supposed, and a very good help;
i don?t regret i didn?t wait for the english version at all
try!
