A Diptertist’s Handbook

Second Edition

Edited by Peter Chandler (with contributions by 42 other authors).

525 pages with 32 colour plates and 45 text figures.

This Handbook provides a work of reference for everyone interested in the study of flies, both beginners and experienced dipterists. The first edition appeared in 1978, since then there have been considerable advances in knowledge of Diptera and new techniques and equipment used in their study have developed. The Handbook has been fully updated and new subjects have been added so that it has grown substantially to more than twice the size of the first edition.
