Sub-order PUPIPARA, 



The term really explains its own meaning, though perhaps the name 

 "louse-flies" may appeal more strongly to the imagination. 



The insects are flattened, adapted to live among wool or feathers, and 

 infest chiefly birds of prey. Among animals the sheep only is infested by 

 a "tick," which is really a degraded, wingless member of this family. 

 They are termed pupipara because the larva remains in the body of the 

 mother until it is mature and ready to enter the pupal stage.
