African Arthropods/Diptera
Diptera is a large order of insects, comprising the two-winged flies. Species from 108 families of Diptera are known in the Afrotropical realm. These families are covered in the Manual of Afrotropical Diptera; the first three volumes of this four-volume project have been published, with the fourth volume expected in 2024. The first three volumes can be accessed at these sites: The Natural History Museum: Manual of Afrotropical Diptera; and the SANBI Repository (Volume 1; Volume 2; Volume 3).
