This book is an up-to-date synopsis of aquatic dance flies (Clinocerinae and Hemerodromiinae), insects that have been studied for more than 200 years in Europe. Its publication comes about 80 years since the last summary report and follows a period when new scientific methods were applied to long-standing unresolved taxonomical, systematic problems. In a period of environmental change, it also provides information for habitat conservation. The inclusion of data for larvae, pupae and adults is aimed not only at professional scientists, but will be of interest to amateur researchers. The work provides comprehensive information on the morphology, ecology, behavior, flight period and geographical distribution of individual species. Keys for males of all species together with drawings of terminalia are given, although females must still be associated with active males. Keys to larvae and pupae are provided wherever possible. Drawings and photographs of wings and male terminalia are supplemented by photographs of larvae, pupae and adults of characteristic, widespread European species in their natural environment. The book covers the Central European Fauna and includes a few additional species from North Europe and Great Britain. Further, at the end of the presentation of every genus, all species described to date from all over Europe are listed so that people working in other European countries and even adjacent areas may get quick access to relevant information for their research and species identification. This is necessary because environmental change will affect distribution and abundance of genera and species restricted either to high-altitude mountains or to drying-up of streams and rivers. The authors Rüdiger Wagner is a retired Researcher on zoology and limnology of the former River Station of the Max-Planck-Society and University of Kassel, interested in effects of environmental change on aquatic Diptera in the course of time. Marija Ivković is Associate Professor at the University of Zagreb, Croatia, interested in ecology, systematics, phylogeny and biogeography of aquatic Diptera, with special emphasis on aquatic Empididae, Clinocerinae and Hemerodromiinae. Adrian Plant is a Senior Researcher at Mahasarakham University, Thailand, interested in systematics, ecology and behaviour of Empidoidea, especially Hemerodromiinae.
