Abstract
A complete list of the publications authored or co-authored by D. Elmo Hardy, including notes pre- sented at meetings, is given in chronological order. Additionally, a complete list of the new taxa of Diptera described by Hardy is presented.
Introduction
Over his exceptionally long and productive career of 65 years, D. Elmo Hardy published over 437 articles and notes proposing 1,867 new species-group names in 34 different families of Diptera. His proclivity in publishing and describing species is amazing when one considers the amount of time Elmo spent each year traveling on sabbaticals, attending international meetings, visiting family on the mainland U.S. almost every Christmas, and still meeting his teaching responsibilities. We pres- ent here as complete a list as possible of every published item attributed to his authorship or co- authorship. We include his many published notes that were presented at various meetings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society. These were not listed by Elmo in his own tracking of his publica- tions, but in many cases, new state records or other novel biological observations are included in those notes and no where else and thus are essential literature references.
A second section lists all new taxa (family-group, genus-group; species-group) that were pro- posed by Elmo as an author or co-author. The four major families that garnered his attention were Tephritidae (465 new species-group names), Drosophilidae (444), Pipunculidae (346), and Bibion- idae (305); although Elmo is also well-known for his major contributions toward the Hawaiian dolichopodid fauna (109 new species-group names).
Lastly, an assessment of Elmo's contribution to Diptera taxonomy is presented in comparison to the top thirteen dipterists.
Complete List of the Scientific Writings of D. Elmo Hardy
The following is a complete listing of all printed articles and notes attributed to Elmo Hardy (either as author or co-author) giving full citation data as well as accurate dating of each publication. All dating of the Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society derives from Evenhuis (1995, Proceedings of the Hawaiian Entomological Society 32: 39^4). All other dating, if derived from sources outside the journal issue, are annotated. Boldface numbers are Hardy's numbering system [also used in his bibliography in Beitrage zur Entomologie 31: 3-11 (1981)]. Articles not numbered by Hardy are indicated by open brackets "[ ]". Co-authors are listed in boldface after the citation with Hardy indicated by "DEH".
