Almost all references worldwidefrom 2000 to 2005 have been processed, resulting in a database with some5300 citations.For each citation the author, year, and pages are given, a keyword-likeoverview as well as a short summary of the content.This database can be consluted directly from the CCW, at the species level.For example, a search for Tipula helvola gives 21 citations, none of themabout systematics or immature stages, all including localities, 7 includinghabitat information, etc.The database can also be consulted independently, to search for a certaintopic.
