Re: British Hoverflies
I have just clicked on the link above and and it worked perfectly. I then clicked "Publications" and got immediately to the Syrphid book. Suggest you try again.

Re: British Hoverflies
The BENHS Publications page gives details of the prices for Members (BENHS or Affiliated societies (DF)), UK postage rates for one or two copies and the address of the BENHS Sales Secretary.
I expect a cheque is probably the preferred method of payment, unless you are able to get to the DF Annual Meeting, AES or BENHS Exhibitions, where you could pay cash and save postage.
Did you have any additional query that someone here may be able to answer?

Re: British Hoverflies
You are right - there is now a problem with that link. You can get to the right place by going to http://www.benhs.org.uk/portal/ and clicking on "Publications" and there you will find the following instruction "For payment details on any of the above, you may make an email enquiry to sales@benhs.org.uk or write to:
Malthouse Books, The Old Malthouse, Sutton Mandeville, SALISBURY, Wiltshire SP3 5LZ".
