Christii Fly
The Christii fly (''Ectaetia christii'') is a species of fly named after the late Iain Christie, a farmer and amateur entomologist from Dunbartonshire. It measures 2 mm ( in) long and is black in colour. Christii flies live under the bark of smaller branches or twigs of dead aspen trees. Discovery Iain Christie originally discovered the Christii fly with several others in the late 1980s, but the fly was not recognised as a new species until 1997, during a survey of the flora and fauna of the Cairngorms. The research was conducted for the book ''The Nature Of The Cairngorms'', which includes 223 species mainly found there and 1,153 further species for which the Cairngorms are nationally noted. Graham Rotheray of the Museum of Scotland and Dave Horsfield of Scottish Natural Heritage found the Christii fly under the bark of a decaying aspen tree near Grantown-on-Spey. Since then, it has been found in Norway and two or three more times in the Cairngorms. Rotheray describe ...

Scatopsidae
__NOTOC__ The minute black scavenger flies or "dung midges", are a family, Scatopsidae, of nematoceran flies. Despite being distributed throughout the world, they form a small family with only around 250 described species in 27 genera, although many await description and doubtless even more await discovery. These are generally small, sometimes minute, dark flies (from 0.6 to 5 mm), generally similar to black flies (Simuliidae), but usually lacking the humped thorax characteristic of that family. The larvae of most species are unknown, but the few that have been studied have a rather flattened shape and are terrestrial and saprophagous. Scatopsids are a well established group and fossils are known from amber deposits dating back to the Cretaceous period. ''Scatopse notata'' (Linnaeus, 1758) is a cosmopolitan species. Its larval stages are found in decaying plant and animal material. Genera * '' Anapausis'' Enderlein, 1912 * '' Apiloscatopse'' Cook, 1874 * '' Arthria'' Kir ...
