Family DOLICHOPODIDiE. 



Small, usually shining green, sometimes black or yellow flies, with short 

 antennas, plump body and comparatively long legs, which are often contrasting 

 yellow or brown. The tarsi or feet are unusually long, whence they are called 

 "long-footed flies," and in the male the anterior pair are often curiously 

 flattened or otherwise modified. In the same sex the abdomen is often fur- 

 nished with curiously complex claspers, which are bent down beneath the 

 body. In the female there is usually a pointed, flat ovipositor. They are pred- 

 atory in habit, feeding chiefly upon smaller flies. The larvae are long, slender 

 cylindrical and feed on decaying vegetation.
