Abstract Volume V of Keys to the Insects of the European Part of the USSR covers two orders-the highly complex order Diptera and the small, specialized order of fleas, Siphonaptera. As in earlier published volumes, the present one includes all known or proposed genera of the aforementioned orders for the European part of the USSR. At the same time, insofar as possible, a complete list of species of Diptera has been provided. Almost 8,300 species of Diptera, representing 114 families, and 160 species of Siphonaptera are described in Volume V. The keys extend to the species level except for a few genera of family Chironomidae studied in the imaginal phase and quite superficially. On the whole, at least 90% of the dipteran species and all the species of fleas, typical or proposed for the territory of the European part of the USSR, have been included here. Naturally, all such species are included which have a practical significance either as harmful or beneficial organisms with reference to plant protection, and forest, medical, and veterinary entomology.
