Ceratopogonidae, Chironomidae, Scatopsidae and Oscinidae in the 
flowers. These families are represented in the flowers of other 
species of Aristolochia quite generally and in several species 
Phoridae have been found. The specific names of the Phorids are 
unfortunately not reliable in any of these old accounts. 
Carr found, however, in Aristolochia sipho a Phorid, Aphio- 
chceta dahli Becker commonly present together with several other 
small flies of other families. All the flies sent by Mr. Grey from 
the Cuban flowers of Aristolochia elegans are Phoridae, as in- 
dicated above.
