  Family 
  DIOPSID.^. 
  

  

  Our 
  only 
  species 
  belonging 
  to 
  this 
  family 
  is 
  easily 
  recognized 
  by 
  tbe 
  

   two 
  lateral 
  horns 
  or 
  processes 
  from 
  the 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  upon 
  which 
  

   the 
  eyes 
  are 
  situated. 
  It 
  occurs 
  on 
  skunk 
  cabbage.

  Family 
  EPHYDRID^. 
  

  

  "The 
  flies 
  of 
  this 
  family 
  are 
  never 
  large, 
  often 
  small 
  or 
  even 
  minute. 
  

   The 
  greater 
  number 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  are 
  inhabitants 
  of 
  wet 
  places, 
  about 
  

   marshy 
  ground, 
  meadows, 
  etc. 
  They 
  are 
  always 
  thinly 
  pilose 
  or 
  bare 
  

   species, 
  and 
  never 
  with 
  bright 
  colors. 
  The 
  exceedingly 
  large 
  head 
  and 
  

   mouth 
  of 
  some 
  species 
  are 
  very 
  characteristic, 
  but 
  in 
  others 
  this 
  char- 
  

   acter 
  is 
  not 
  so 
  apparent, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  sometimes 
  difficulty 
  in 
  separating 
  

   the 
  genera 
  from 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  'Drosophilidse.' 
  The 
  larvae 
  of 
  many 
  forms 
  

   are 
  veiy 
  peculiar, 
  resembling 
  the 
  rat-tailed 
  larvae 
  of 
  the 
  'Syrphidae' 
  in 
  

   many 
  cases."

  In 
  New 
  Jersey 
  the 
  species 
  are 
  not 
  notably 
  abundant; 
  but 
  they 
  occur 
  

   in 
  countless 
  millions 
  in 
  the 
  great 
  salt 
  lake 
  in 
  Utah, 
  and 
  in 
  other 
  alkaline 
  

   lakes 
  and 
  ponds 
  of 
  the 
  northwestern 
  desert 
  region.
