 Atlicrix Ibis, which has paler legs, is found 

 on alders near water occasionally in dense 

 clusters, where the eggs are deposited on twigs 

 under the dead bodies. The larvae fall into 

 water beneath, and have a forked tail. Walker, 

 Vol. I, relates this: also \'errall quotes him. 

 See Series 3, Figs. 42, 43, Typical Flies, for 

 an illustration of this. Atlicrix margiiiata 

 has black legs.
