After Blan- if the larvae are not removed promptly the envelopes ot the eye are gradually destroyed and the organ lost. Dermatobia cyaniventrisâThis fly (fig. 83) is widely <iistributed throughout tropical America, and in its larval stage is well known as a parasite of man. The larvse (figs. 81 and 82) which are known as the "ver macaque," "torcel," "ver moyocuil" or by several other local names, enter the skin and give rise to a boil-like swelling, open at the top, and comparable with the swell- ing produced by the warble fly larvae, in cattle. They cause itching and occasional excruciating pain. When mature, nearly an inch in length, they voluntarily leave their host, drop to the ground and complete their development. The adult female is about 12 mm. in length. The face is yellow, the frons black with a grayish bloom; antennae yellow, the third segment four times as long as the second, the arista pectinate. The thorax is bluish black with grayish bloom; the abdomen depressed, brilliant metallescent blue with violet tinge. The legs are yellowish, the squamae and â wings brownish. 82.
