FAMILY SIMULIIDAE 



Most of the older works dealing with the Simuliidae are inaccessible. Austen, in his 

 Illustrations of Blood-sucking Flies, depicts several species. King, in the third Report of 

 the Wellcome Research Laboratories, Khartoum, illustrates the larvae, pupae and imagines 

 of grisicollis and damnosum. The following papers contain useful information on the 

 biology of the Simuliidae :
