Part of the ID guide to Chrysops

Two more identification guides have been issued by the Soldierflies and Allies Recording Scheme. They cover horseflies (deerflies) in genus Chrysops, and robberflies in genus Dioctria. As with the others in this series, they are intended to supplement the Stubbs and Drake keys, and to help with identification from photos or in the field.

Many thanks to all who have contributed photos to these guides. The new ones include photos from Steven Falk, Malcolm Storey, David Basham, Dick Belgers, Ian Andrews, Jeremy Early, Kate Nightingale, Martin Harvey, Rob Petley Jones, Sue Taylor and Tim Worfolk.
