Review (by Malcolm Storey)

The ”Anthomyiid Pack" consists of a checklist plus a set of keys (mostly unpublished) from various sources with a table showing which species appears in each key, and several other useful articles. There is also a large collection (over 100 pages) of line drawings of male genitalia.

The keys are as follows:

General unpublished keys from J.E. Collin or Fonseca.
Keys from Fonseca (with names updated).
Translations of Hennig’s keys with some alterations.
Original keys by D.M.A.
Fonseca’s key to British females.
This is very much a work-in-progress and all the keys are incomplete (individually and in totality) and there is much overlap.

Indispensable to the serious student of this extremely difficult group.
