THE OF THE PROBOSCIS. 149 the dorsal surface is lengthened by the elongation of the meso- labrum and the palpigerous scales. The oral lobes are also pro- portionately longer than at a later period. At a still earlier period of development in the nymph (Fig. 32), the labrum is less displaced in relation to the theca than in the newly-escaped imago. The head is then smaller, and it is apparently the unequal growth of the head which pushes the labrum towards the distal extremity of the proboscis. During the evolution of the proboscis, after the escape of the imago from the pupa, the ventral (upper) surface of the proboscis is gradually elongated, and the discophore is converted into a portion of the dorsal surface of the oral sucker, whilst the.

At the same time the cylindrical portion of the rostrum becomes shortened and conical, whilst the part is converted into a membranous cone. d. The Comparative Anatomy of the Proboscis in the Diptera. The form of the proboscis in the immature imago of the Blow-fly affords an easy transition between the most diverse types of the dipterous mouth. The various modifications of 10—2.
