them. It is interesting to note that the long and scattered plumosity of the arista, 

 characteristic for the species of the present section, is likewise developed in other 

 Myiodaria which are attracted by mature fruits, as some Anthomyidae and 

 Drosophilidae, in relation to olfactory tropisms. 



The second and third of the above-named groups can be derived from the first, 

 the former by reduction and the latter by addition of corresponding characters. This 

 is chiefly evident on comparing the very reduced antennae of the sedentary, gall- 

 forming species, with the highly developed ones of the wandering, fruit-searching 

 species.
