Catalogue and keys of Chinese Ceratopogonidae ( Insecta, Diptera)

“The Ceratopogonidae of China” volume I and II (Yu yixin et al ,2005 ) are the first documentary that was able to record and described all 39 genera, 1015 species of Ceratopogonidae in China ( include six hundred fifty two species discovered by Chinese entomologists); this number is one tenth of the entire identified Ceratopogonidae species in the world, thus make it the most inclusive documentary of its kind. However, as book that is over two and a half million words in volume, it is quite thick for reading; therefore for convenient purpose, we have compiled this catalogue and keys for preliminary distinguish for ceratopogonids in China.

This book bears the same numbering of species as in “ The Ceratopogonidae of China”, all species of Ceratopogonidae mentioned in this book as “2005” are the same as “ new species” in “ The Ceratopogonidae of China”, and all species are also described and references in details in that book.
