but may refer to this species ; however, the antennal arista is pubescent, rather 

 than plumose, as illustrated. 



Geographical Distribution. — Palaearctic Region : Algeria, Libia (Tripoli- 

 tania). Ethiopian Region : Eritrea. 



Pathogenesis. — Larvae of Mintho parasitize lepidopterous larvae 

 as far as known, the only recorded exception being the unique case 

 of Onorato (96) . In a patient in Tripolitania two sinuses produced 

 by mycetoma of the left foot were found to contain 13 larvae, those 

 of one of the sinuses living in a deep accessory cavity. Whether the 

 cavity was caused by the mycetoma or the larvae could not be 

 determined. Eight of the larvae, when found, were mature and 

 were reared to the adult stage. The determination was made by 

 Bezzi. As Onorato says, the exact pathogenic role was uncertain 

 and, even if healthy tissue was involved, the occurrence of myiasis 

 is too rare to be of any importance.
