Dynamic news and new keys
2007-05-17
The site now has blog-like news thanks to some new features in mx, that database that serves the data here. This will make it easier to add notes and news about the site and things diapriid. Nixon's (1957) keys to the Belytinae have also been posted. Note that a fair amount of synonymy has occurred since they have been published, however they still identify useful characters and some of the big dichotomies. The key to females includes some of Nixon's plates, which are useful as references.
