[Syrphidae] My Agnisyrphus revision

[Chris Thompson]

Thanks, Kumar, but ...

There is one little problem with all of this, under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, a work must be DISTRIBUTED and IF not printed on paper a statement must be included that lists of at least 5 "major publicly accessible libraries which are identified by name in the work ITSELF." [Article 8.6]

So, it is clear you may have made an important contribution available to the people on this listserver, etc., but Colemania volume 14 has not been published in the sense of Zoological Nomenclature.

Also, note that my library is PRIVATE, not major nor publicly accessible, and until today I did not receive this version of Colemania. The earlier version was in MS Word.

This version I note was prepared with a "trial version" of pdffactory (version 3.16) and on 29 November 2008, not November 2007.

Yes, with Ximo we do plan to finish some of the things you and I started years ago. The Eosphaerophoria manuscript is almost completed and will be circulated for review soon. Ximo is now doing Citrogramma as Nigel's paper needs revision.

WHAT we really need from ALL is fresh material in ALCOHOL for DNA character analyses. What is becoming clear is that morphological characters, at least the traditional ones, are insufficiently informative to resolve higher group relationships, etc.

Sincerely

Dear Ximo :   I have just seen this e-mail, opening this e-mail ID of mine after many weeks.   Attached is a PDF of my Agnisyrphus paper which should give all that you need.  I had sent a PDF to Chris months ago, but he is a very busy person and may not have told you about this paper and of me.  You are Chris’ only second Post-doc, after myself, the first, at S..I. (USNM).      Now that this mail has gotten us in ‘net-connect,’ do write to me about anything on Oriental Syrphidae that you may want.  My papers (reprints & PDFs) should be in Chris’ library, but let me know if you want anything not there.  I also sent Chris my working file on Eosphaerophoria and he wrote you would be helping us FINISH that paper.   Other colleagues on this list-serve can also download my revision of Agnisyrphus, the first of many Oriental Syrphini genera
 now being re-revised and submitted for publication, based on my doctorate in Bangalore (India) and postdoc at Washington, DC (U.S.A.). Trust attachments are allowed on this ?  Cheers, KUMAR

          Dear all,

          I hope all is OK with you and I can see as many of you as possible in Serbia next June.

          As you know, I'm at Smithsonian Institution working with Chris Thompson and I started to revise some Syrphini genera, One very curios genus is Agnisyrphus Gorphade, 1994. Searching for some more information about these guys Ifound a reference:


THE GENUS AGNISYRPHUS GHORPADE (DIPTERA—SYRPHIDAE), PECULIAR TO THE ORIENTAL REGION, WITH NOTES ON PHYLOGENY, EVOHISTORY AND PANBIOGEOGRAPHY. Colemania: insect biosystematics, No. 14, pp. 1-34, 4 Text-Figs, 1 Plate, 1 Map, 1 Table. 
Does any of you a copy of this Colemania No. 14? Has anybody seen this article?Thank you very much for your help.Sincerely,Ximo Mengual
