Biodiversity Data Journal #2

I posted earlier this year about wanting to publish a series of small papers on the distribution and identification of several lineages of Hawaiian flies.  I also wanted to use the series to publish some species names from the smaller groups or the clades where a full revision isn't tractable.  The first paper was on the Asteiidae and it came out in February.  The second in the series was on the genus Scatella (Ephydridae) and was published in August.  My coauthors Neal Evenhuis and Keith Arakaki are both researchers at the BP Bishop Museum.  We owe a huge thanks to Torsten Dikow for helping with the database of the Smithsonian Material.  You can read the paper here.

My next paper will be on the endemic Hawaiian Canacidae and will include the description of a new species in the genus Procanace.
