Anatomical Atlas of Flies
This is on the fly (diptera) info page already, but I feel it deserves a link posting as well. I'll also add it to the links in the glossary info page. This is a very spiffy clickable anatomic atlas done in Macromedia Flash.

Updated 26 February 2024.

Herschel Raney's Diptera Keys
Includes links to keys for several families of flies. (This link is also listed under the Internet references in the order diptera, but it seemed worth repeating here.)

Cirrus Digital Imaging--Flies
Site with photos and some identifications.

USDA Diptera Site (now closed)
As of May, 2011, the USDA Diptera site has been closed. (A link back to BugGuide is provided so that this note can remain posted.)

Manual of Nearctic Diptera, vol. 1
The main purpose of this new Manual of Nearctic Diptera is to provide an up-to-date, well-illustrated,easily interpretable means for identifying the families and genera of two-winged flies of America north of Mexico. It is also designed to be a basic reference to a wide spectrum of biosystematic information on Diptera for professional biologists, teachers, students, and informed amateurs.

Historically, the Manual is built upon earlier great works on the biosystematics of Nearctic Diptera.

Two new species and New Records of Psychoda Latreille from Brazil, with comments on Supraspecific Classification of the Genus
Two New Species and New Records of Psychoda Latreille (Diptera: Psychodidae: Psychodinae) From Brazil, With Comments on Supraspecific Classification of the Genus

Two new species of Brazilian Psychoda Latreille are described, and Psychoda alternata Say and P. zetoscota Quate are recorded for the first time from Brazil. Psychoda divaricata Duckhouse, already described from southern Brazil, was recorded in the northeastern part of that country, as well as in the eastern Amazon region. The supraspecific classification proposed for the species of Psychoda according to Quate (= Psychodini of Jeñek) are discussed. A new classification is suggested that considers only one genus, Psychoda, divided into 12 subgenera: subgenus Psychoda Latreille, subgenus Copropsychoda Vaillant, subgenus Falsologima Jeñek & Harten, subgenus Psychodula Jeñek, subgenus Psychomora Jeñek, subgenus Psychana Jeñek & Harten, subgenus Logima Eaton, subgenus Tinearia Schellenberg, subgenus Chodopsycha Jeñek, subgenus Ypsydocha Jeñek, subgenus Psychodocha Jeñek, and subgenus Psycha Jeñek. A list of the Psychoda species from Latin America and the Caribbean region is presented.

A Review of the Genus Juriniopsis Townsend
Abstract: Problems of identification and the characters of the male genitalia are reviewed, with a key to the seven species. Lectotypes are designated for Juriniopsis adusta (Wulp), its synonym J. myrrhea (Brower and Bergenstamm), and Parafabricia nitidula (Wulp), the last a new generic reference that clarifies a badly mixed series which involved Juriniopsis in part.
