The life histories of some of the members of this famih^ have 

 long been known. Otto Fabricius in 178 J> published an ani- 

 ole, '' Beschreibung der Atlasmiicke und ihrer Puppe." A little 

 later (1795) Schonbauer published his account of the immature 

 stages of the Columbacz midge. He was the first to state 

 that these earlier stages are passed in the water. In 

 1822 appeared Yerdat's paper, on Simulium s e r i - 

 c e u m (=^S. r e p t a n s , according to Schiner) in which 

 he figures the pupa, the larva, together with enlarged 

 details of the mouth parts of the latter. Among other 

 early writings on life history may be mentioned Fries's
