Family EPHYDRIDiE. 



"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 character is not so apparent, 

 and there is sometimes difficulty in separating the genera from those of the 

 Drosophilidjfi. The larvee of many forms are very peculiar, resembling the rat- 

 tailed larvae of the Syrphidre in many cases " — Williston. 



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

 less millions in the great salt lake in Utah, and in other alkaline lakes and 

 ponds of the northwestern desert region.
