87 



countries, but are not rare in temperate regions. XJie larvae often live in fruits, 

 like those of the Dacinae ; but some species mine into the leaves of umbelliferous 

 plants or of Compositae; a few species are gall-makers, but none live in the flower- 

 heads of the Compositae. 



2nd Tribe : Myiopitininae. This tribe has the same characters as the preceding ; 

 but the anal cell is always obtuse, its lower angle is never drawn out in a point ; the 

 ovipositor is long and cylindrical ; the wings are banded. The species are found 

 exclusively in temperate countries, being wanting in the tropics ; the larvae live only 

 on plants of the family Compositae, and often make galls. 



■^rd Tribe : Trypaneininae. Occipital row usually formed of strong yellow 

 bristles, which are usually obtuse at the end. Thoracic pubescence yellowish. 

 Wings with the third longitudinal vein usually bare ; anal cell never longer than the 

 second basal cell (obtuse in some forms). Wing-pattern usually of the reticulate 

 type, rarely banded and sometimes hyaline. Ovipositor flattened. Arista usually 

 bare. The species occur in temperate countries and also in cold regions ; the larvae 

 live usually in the flower-heads of the Compositae, and sometimes make galls, even 

 on the roots of plants of this family.
