Welcome
Welcome to the Sciomyzidae site!
This will become a site to provide sciomyzid researchers (and others) with material such as a directory of researchers working on sciomyzids, a bibliography of Sciomyzidae, world checklists, various articles on sciomyzids, keys to genera, etc.
At present the Directory of Sciomyzid Workers is included in the site but it is only available to registered members of the site who have actually logged in. You will find a link to register to the left of this Welcome message. Please note that the registration will need to be activated before you can log in. Sorry for that inconvenience, but it is to prevent spammers from creating accounts.
Any sciomyzid worker who has material he/she wants to make available through the site should contact Bill Murphy or Paul Beuk. We can also be contacted if you want to have features enabled or expanded to categorise your content (forums, photo albums link sections, etc.).
We hope you will find the site useful.
