Mi/opa, Fab., has the proboscis elbowed at the base, and again near the middle, the apex being bent under, andthe antennae shorter than the head. [Several British species.] The others {Stornoxydm, ileig.), resemble domestic FHes in their general form, the arrangement oftheir wings, the antennas terminated by a palette shorter than the head, and furnished with a seta,and the abdomen short and conical, without external appendages. Stomoxys proper, has the proboscis only elbowed at the base. Tj-pe, Conops calcitrans, Linn, [a very commoninsect, often observed on windows, and which is the species] which pricks our legs so sharply, especiallybefore 632 INSECTA. Bucentes, Latr. (Stomoxys, Fab., Sip/iona, Meig.), has the proboscis elbowed twice, as in , which Nitzsch refers to this family, is distinguished by having only the rudiments of wings ; the direc-tion of the proboscis, and the form of its antenna; and botly, seem to indicate that it comes near Stomoxys. The fourth and last tribe, Muscides, is distinguished from the preceding by having a proboscisalways very apparent, membranous, and bilabiate, generally bearing two palpi (except in Phora), andcapable of being entirely withdrawn into the oral cavity, and a sucker of two pieces. The antennaealways terminated by a palette with a lateral seta. These Athericera embrace the ancient genus Musca of Fabricius, which the works of Fallen andMeigen (without speaking of our own) have singularly modified. The dilRculties, however, whichoppo
