<p>Andy Spielman taught me about dipterans , which its what a sand fly is, should be two words, and I discussed this with Bob Killick-Kendrick and convinced him. I guess if you do not care to follow the dipteran-nondipteran classification, you can use one
word, but no matter what the bloody dictionary says, one word for a dipteran appears to be incorrect. </p>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">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>
