About This Book

A systematic catalogue of dipterous insects collected at Singapore and Malacca, listing families, genera, and species with concise morphological descriptions, measurements, and precise collection localities. Entries note diagnostic characters, colouration, and intraspecific variation, and record altitudinal and geographic occurrences when known. Numerous taxa are described as new, accompanied by comparative remarks and occasional figures or plates to aid identification, while brief comments indicate wider distributional links to specimens from neighboring islands and regions.
