Abstract

The wings of 23 genera of Dolichopodidae (Diptera) were investigated with the aim to detect quantitative characters suitable for the identification. 15 sections of veins were measured, and 13 coefficients of ratios were obtained. The coefficients were verified for reliability using Student's test. The coefficients showing maximally significant differences are suggested for using to diagnose Dolichopodidae’s genera.
