 OF Ceratopogon and Forcipomyia* 



LARV.i: 



1. Body slightly flattened, deep lateral incisions between the abdominal 



segments, each segment with a lateral, pointed elongation, as shown 

 in Figure 4, Plate XVII, body bristles simple, neither lanceolate 

 nor branched C. fusculus. 



— Body rounded, in cross-section, incisions between the segments not 



deep, body bristles not all simple 2 



2. Dorsal bristle and the anterior one of the dorso-lateral pair thick- 



ened at base, tapering to well beyond the middle 



F. stenammatus.*' 



— Dorsal bristle spear- or club-shaped, thicker beyond middle than at 



base 3 



3. One dorso-lateral bristle, the usual posterior dorso-lateral one being 



on a horizontal level with the lateral bristle, so that there may be 



said to be 2 lateral bristles F. hrumalis* 



F. cilipes. 



— Two dorso-lateral bristles present, situated on a distinct ridgelike 



prominence, lateral bristle much below the level of both 4 



4. Dorsal bristles very short and leaf like F, wJieeleri* 



— Dorsal bristles elongated, at least six times as long as their greatest 



breadth 5 



5. Dorsal bristle club-shaped, or spatulate, the broadest part beyond 



middle 6
