Biology of Milichiidae
Tue, 2007-01-30 16:53 — Irina BrakeThe biology of the Milichiidae is rather diverse. Larvae are generally saprophagous and live in decaying plants, but several are coprophagous or even necrophagous.

Milichiidae of the Lake Kerkini region in Greece
Mon, 2009-11-09 19:37 — Irina BrakeIntroduction
The Milichiidae fauna of Greece is virtually unknown, with only Desmometopa m-nigrum, Leptometopa rufifrons and Milichia pubescens (Brake 2000) recorded. However, thanks to the efforts of Gordon Ramel, who maintained several Malaise as well as other traps near Lake Kerkini in northern Greece, close to the border to Bulgaria, this has now changed. Sadly the first parcel with specimens sent to me was lost, so that the absence of data for some traps and times as well as the low numbers in some traps are not necessarily reflecting the original collection.

Wing with subcostal notch seldom evident, never well-developed; R4+5 and M1 not or only slightly converging at tips; distal margin of anal cell (CuA2) usually rounded (if not, then epistoma extended dorsally, subtriangular).
