Each chapter includes a diagnosis of the family, sections covering biology and immature stages, classification and identification, an identification key to genera (if more than one), and a synopsis of the fauna section, arranged genus by genus alphabetically. Hardcover; 8-3/4 x 11". NOTE: This is the second of a four volume set. See 8965 for Volume 1, Introductory Chapters and Keys to Diptera Families.
