Welcome to European Micropezids & Tanypezids

DIPTERA: Superfamilies NERIOIDEA (Micropezids) - Families Pseudopomyzidae & Micropezidae + DIOPSOIDEA (Tanypezids) - Families Diopsidae, Tanypezidae, Strongylophthalmyiidae, Megamerinidae & Psilidae

This site arises from the UK Stilt & Stalk Fly Recording Scheme which has for some years recorded Micropezids & Tanypezids, data from which is published to NBN Atlas (DOI:10.15468/mwjnku)

The study now extends into Europe, more precisely Pan-Europe (which includes Turkey and the Caucasus)
