Blowflies. THE THORACIC EXO-SKELETON. 159 If we compare the thoracic leg of an insect with that of a crayfish, we recognise in the five joints of the insect's tarsus the representatives of the five joints of the crustacean limb known as the basipodite, ischiopodite, meropodite, carpopodite, and propodite, whilst the claw-like dactylopodite is represented in insects by two tarsal claws. In the crustacean the basal coxopodite corresponds with the coxa of the insect, whilst the exopodite of the generalised Crustacea corresponds with the femoro-tibial portion of the limb in the insect. The bladder-like femoro-tibial rudiment closely resembles.

This much is certain, the five tarsal joints in the Blow-fly are all differentiated distinctly before any trace of the segmen- tation of the femoro-tibial portion of the limb is apparent, and this is developed from a process which closely resembles the exopodite of the crustacean limb. The Dorsal Appendages of the thorax, or wings, are highly.
