	Research Interests
		The phantom midges (Diptera: Chaoboridae) are a small fly family composed of 50 extant species in six genera.
		Larvae are of interest to limnologists and ecologists because of the role they play in zooplankton community dynamics and their ability to tolerate polluted waters.
		The description and comparison of chaetotaxy patterns within the Chaoboridae and between the chaoborids and the culicids is necessary to establish homologies across taxa and to test currently proposed chaetotaxy homologies between immature life stages.

	[No title]
		Chaoboridae larvae are recognised by their mouthparts (prehensile antennae) and the frequent presence of an air sac in the thorax and posterior abdomen.
		Larval densities can be very high, and therefore adults can be very numerous, especially around northern billabongs.
		All species live in phytotelmata, such as leaf axils, tree holes etc., where they are predatory on zooplankton.

	Corethrellidae (Diptera), Vectors of Present and Perhaps Some of the Earliest Anuran Trypanosomes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Corethrellidae is considered to be the sister group of the Chaoboridae plus Culicidae (Wood and Borkent 1989; Miller et al.
		According to Borkent and Szadziewski (1992), the oldest known Chaoboridae are fossils from the Jurassic of Siberia and, they believe, Corethrellidae should be of equal or greater age.
		Trypanosome transmission by Corethrella wirthi (Diptera: Chaoboridae) to the green tree frog, Hyla cinera, (Anura: Hylidae).

	FLYTREE: Art Borkent
		Art Borkent is a world expert on the systematics of Ceratopogonidae (biting midges, no-see-ums), Corethrellidae (frog-biting midges) and Chaoboridae (phantom midges) and has broad interests in the phylogenetic relationships of other Nematocera.
		He is on the organizing committee for the Diptera portion of this project and assistant editor for the nearly completed “Manual of Central American Diptera”.
		As part of the latter project, he has written chapters for Chaoboridae, Corethrellidae and Dixidae and has co-authored chapters on the Ceratopogonidae, the phylogeny of the Diptera, a family level key to the larvae and a family level key to the adults.

	Fossil Diptera Catalog -- Chaoboridae
		Members of the family Chaoboridae are mosquito-like, nonbiting nematoceran flies.
		Extant taxa are found worldwide where the larvae are chiefly lacustrine in habit.
		The genera Dixamima and Rhaetomyia (formerly in Dixamimidae and Rhaetomyiidae, respectively in the original 1994 catalog version) are included in Chaoboridae here.

		The aquatic larvae are predaceous and characteristically shaped, with air bubbles in the thorax and posterior abdomen.
		The family has recently been split from the Chaoboridae, which are all non-biting flies, while the Corethrelliae bite frogs and possibly other invertebrates.

		Cook continued a life-long interest in flies, with a special emphasis on the family Scatopsidae, the scavenger flies.
		His 1956 paper on another family, the Chaoboridae of phantom midges, is still considered the primary reference for the group and his 1981 contributions on the families Scatopsidae, Chaoboridae, and Synneuridae in the Manual of Nearctic Diptera are modern day classics.
		In all, Dr. Cook published 97 papers covering primarily Diptera, but also aphids, lice, beetles, bees, mites, and roaches, among other groups.
