摘要
Comparative analysis of the wing apparatus and flight characteristics has been performed on members of five dipteran families (Bombyliidae, Syrphidae, Calliphoridae, Scathophagidae, and Sarcophagidae). We obtained data on flight velocity, aerodynamic force, stroke plane angle, stroke amplitude, wingbeat frequency, wing area, and body mass and volume. The relations between these parameters are analyzed. Characters distinguishing between species of the same genus, members of different genera of the same family, and members of different families have been determined. © 2012 Allerton Press, Inc.
