<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry, but Dr. Bryceson may be mistaken, because I
have just published a paper on <EM>Nyssomyia neivai</EM> in TRSTMH utilising

<DIV><BR></DIV>The academics have spoken, but us lay writers could be
forgiven for getting it "wrong". Usage accepts sandfly on this side of the
Atlantic. As Bob pointed out the divide between sandfly and sand-fly
is the Atlantic Ocean. The Oxford English Dictionary and Collins offer only
sandfly, Webster offers only sand fly. Encyclopedia Britannica uses sand
fly, but then includes midges and gnats. Wikipedia is utterly
confused. Trawling the publications of the famous ento-
parasito-logists showed that British journals such as TRSTMH use sandfly,
Continental journals mostly use sandfly when publishing in English, but
some such as Parassitologia seem a little more flexible and use either. US
journals use sand fly, but adopted the style at different times: AJTMH
in abut 1983, Science and Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz by about 2000. I
found only one sand-fly. So select your journal carefully if you
have strong feelings.

<DIV>The Americans use sand fly. The convention is that two words indicate
a dipteran - eg. sand fly, tsetse fly, horse fly, stable fly etc, -
whereas one word indicates a non-dipteran - eg. mayfly, damselfly,
hoverfly etc. It seems sensible to me and I follow it. [This is opposed by
Chris Schofield. But he works on reduvidbugs (conenosebugs)!]</DIV>

<DIV>By the way, what is the right English writing: sand fly or sandfly?
Is it a matter of England vs. US?</DIV>
