A commented list of the types of three families of Bibionomorpha – Bolitophilidae, Diadocidiidae and Ditomyiidae – housed at the Natural History Museum (London) is provided. This includes four holotypes and one paratype of five species of Bolitophilidae; one paratype and three syntypes of two species of Diadocidiidae; and 17 holotypes, 91 paratypes, four lectotypes, and fourteen paralectotypes of 38 species of Ditomyiidae. Lectotypes are designated for the Neotropical species of the ditomyiids Australosymmerus (Melosymmerus) bisetosus Edwards, 1940 and A. (M.) pediferus Edwards, 1940.

This is the uncorrected proof of my chapter published here: http://www.palgrave.com/de/book/9783319533650 This chapter aims to reposition paper as a commodity in the historiography of early modern book production by focusing on the markets for paper. This is done by means of a case study of an eighteenth-century paper dealer active in Amsterdam, the hub of the European paper trade. By examining the material flow of paper in and out of Amsterdam and through the city itself, it becomes clear that paper kept the whole ‘business of books’ running. Paper dealers were crucial figures within book production networks, performing pivotal functions such as providing access to supply chains. They also functioned in some unexpected ways, such as organizing the industry’s recycling processes of waste paper. It is argued here that these paper networks contributed to the formation of interconnected markets and constituted a significant component of the early modern book industry.
