Manual of Nearctic Diptera, vol. 3
Volume 1 and 2 of the manual were concerned with the anatomy, terminology, and identification of all the known families and genera of two-winged flies from America north of Mexico. This third volume explains the rationale underlying the classification that was adopted in the first two volumes, using the methodology of phylogenetic systematics developed by Hennig. Volume 3 comprises three chapters: 1) phylogeny and classification of the Nematocera; 2) phylogeny and classification of the Òrthorrhaphous' Brachycera; and 3) phylogeny and classification of the Muscomorpha.
