“ 8. Psychoda (?) phaleenoides. 1 Owl Midge ’ or ' Moth Fly.’ 
“ A minute moth-like insect often seen on window-panes in 
houses. The larvae of this insect were common in human faeces, and 
many examples of the flies were bred from this material. It is also 
common in putrid sewage matter. May be looked upon more in the 
light of a scavenger, but is of little or no economic importance. 
"9. Coleoptera. (Beetles.) 
“ Two species were particularly common in ashpits, viz., Crcophilus 
maxillosus and PhilonthJis politus. They act as scavengers, feeding 
upon all kinds of debris. They rarely enter houses.”
