Riverton IV, 23. EUPITENUS Macq. E. ater Macq. Riverton IV, 9 (CG). Family SIMULID^. Rather undersized chunky flies, known as "black flies," dark in color, the thorax well developed and somewhat produced forward so as to partially conceal the small head from above. Though the head is small in proportion to the insect, the mouth parts are exceedingly well developed and furnished with a formidable array of lancets for punctur- ing and blood-sucking. The wings are short and broad, the venation obscure except along the front margin. These flies are horrible pests local- ly, not so much in our State as in some others west and north, the "buf- falo gnat" of the Mississippi Valley region and "black fly" of the north woods being excellent examples. In New Jersey some 'species are pests in the Orange Mountains and northward, getting into the ears of horses, or even occasionally of man. The larvae are aquatic and live in running water.
