Hilarimorphidae (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hilarimorphidae or Hilarimorphid flies are a Family of Diptera. They are placed in the Super family Asiloidea, though there is some considerable doubt, but the consensus is that they are most closely related to the Bombyliidae. Most species are nearctic.Coleoptera is an order of insects commonly called beetles. The word "coleoptera" is from the Greek, koleos, "sheath"; and, pteron, "wing," thus "sheathed wing." Coleoptera contains more species than any other order, constituting almost 25% of all known life-forms.About 40% of all described insect species are beetles (about 400,000 species), and new species are discovered frequently. Some estimates put the total number of species, described and undescribed, at as high as 100 million, but 1 million is a more likely figure.
