Acknowledgements This web site would not have been possible without the brilliant photographic skills of my colleague and sometimes co-author, Mr. Gerhard Weber of Adelaide, who has unselfishly given of his time and talents to produce the robber fly images. I thank him profusely. Additionally, I give thanks to my colleague and office mate, Archie McArthur, at the South Australian Museum who produced the close-ups of the male genitalia of Cerdistus species. I would also like to thank the taxonomists at various museums, both in Australia and abroad, who provided me with specimens for study. Additionally I would also like to thank my colleague, Dr. Fritz Geller-Grimm for his permission to use some of his photos of Australian Asilidae. I, also, commend Dr. Geller-Grimm for making available the world literature on Asilidae in pdf format.
