Originally published in 1994, this catalog recorded over 3,100 species of fossil flies throughout the world. Since then, there have been a number of publications that have made it necessary to publish an updated version of the catalog. This web version is intended to present the most up-to-date version of each family chapter of the catalog and will be continually updated as published information becomes available.

Members of the aquatic dance fly genus, Clinocera, are significant predators in temperate freshwater lotic habitats. Some 14 000 museum specimens were examined in detail to produce this book, which is dedicated to the classification, taxonomy, distribution and zoogeographic history of 67 New World species of Clinocera, including the description of 49 new species. Identification keys to genera of the subfamily Clinocerinae of North and South America are included and keys are provided to species groups and all known New World species of Clinocera. Descriptions are accompanied by 5 colour plates, 83 line drawings, 11 scanning electron photographs, 44 wing photos and 34 distribution maps.
