. The animal kingdom : arranged after its organization; forming a natural history of animals, and an introduction to comparative anatomy. Zoology. Fig. Piophila Cascl. to the preceding, but tlie length of the second joint of the antennae, which equals or surpasses that of the third, at once distinguishes it. These organs are porrccted, as long as, or longer than, the head, and pointed at the tip. The upper surface of the head forms a triangle, obtuse at the tip. Some have the antennas shorter than the head. Otites, has the seta simple, and the lower part of the face is not produced. Euthycera, Latr., has the seta plumose, and the lower part of the face produced into a truncated muzzle. The othei'S have the antennae as long as, or longer than, the head. Sepedon, Latr., has the antennas evidently longer than the head, and the seta simple. Tetanocera, Dum., has the antennse as long as tlie head, and the seta sometimes plumose. The sixth division, Leptopodites, is remarkable for the length and slenderness of the feet, the liind ones being at least as long again as the body, which is also slender and filiform ; all the tarsi are short. The head is spherical or ellipsoid, and terminated in a point. The antennaj are very small. They are found on plants, and many frequent aquatic places. Micropcza, Jleig., has the head ellipsoid, terminated in a point, and the seta of the antennse simple. Calobata fili/ormis, Fabr. Calobata, Fabr., has the head spheroidal, and the seta often plumose. Nerius, Fabr., has the habit of Micropeza, but differs in the antenna; being as long as the head. The seventh division, Carpomyz^, has the wings vibratile, spotted with black or yellow, an appear- ance very like that of the Domestic Flies, but with the eyes apart, and the abdomen with four or five external segments, mostly terminated in the females by a cylindric or conic ovipositor; the antennae always short, with the seta rarely Yillose. The larvae of many species live in fruits or seed
