However, searches for mature larvae in the field, which are believed to be associated with geotrupine beetle larvae, have so far met with failure. The project will continue in 1999. Saturday afternoon commenced with the AGM of the Forum and a discussion of the future for the various Diptera recording schemes, followed by informal discussions and examination of the many exhibits, full details of which will be published in a forthcoming issue of the Forum's 'house-magazine', Dipterists Digest. After much consideration, a prize for best exhibit was awarded by the Forum committee to Dr Malcolm Smart for his display of British and foreign Asilidae. The prize of a book was very kindly donated by Ian Johnson of Pemberley Books, who also attended the meeting with a large stand of new and second-hand Diptera literature for sale throughout the weekend. Saturday's proceedings were rounded-off by the traditional Dipterists' Supper, which was held in the adjacent main building of the University of Wales. This excellent event was attended by over 60 Forum members, and graced as in previous years by a superbly-decorated cake prepared by Mrs Diane Henshaw. This year the cake honoured the work of Dr Lloyd Knutson, the distinguished Sciomyzidae specialist now happily retired to France after a long entomological career in various countries and dispositions. The Forum was delighted that Dr Knutson and his wife Mara were able to attend the event, and he was duly invited to cut the cake after first identifying its crowning decoration, a portrait of the sciomyzid PherbelUa knutsoni Verbeke, originally described from Wales. On the Sunday, about 40 Forum members returned to the museum to attend workshops on the identification of British and European Cheilosia (Syrphidae), given by Steven Falk; the identification of British pictu
