Dolichopodidae

Submitted by Ray Morris on

I'm presently pulling together Dolichopodidae data for Leicestershire & Rutland (VC55) in order to produce a status report for the family (to 2020) as part of a series of reports produced by the Leicestershire & Rutland Entomological Society.

I have worked through available online databases as well as local records and also pored over publications.  I have a simple question - are the data on the NBN Atlas up-to-date and, if not, is it possible to access a database where the information can be retrieved?

Many thanks

Ray

Have you tried Martin Drake, Ray?  Have a look at the Recording Scheme page on this site via the Resources menu (or use this page address: https://dipterists.org.uk/empid-allies-scheme/home).  Notice though that in the comments he says an atlas will have to await publication of his monograph on the Family so I don't know how easy it would be to extract a list of records for a particular County.  Good luck.
