Synopsis

This book explores the rich and diverse dipterous insects collected by Professor Trevor Kincaid during the 1899 Harriman Alaska Expedition. The author, an expert in the field, examines the 276 species represented in the collection, describing 63 new species to science. Diptra, commonly called true flies or flies, constitute the largest order of insects and play vital roles in various ecosystems. The author's detailed analysis of the Harriman collection significantly contributes to the study of diptera and the understanding of their diversity and distribution in Alaska.
