Extract

The approach to the study of the ectoparasitic flies of the pupiparous family Hippoboscidae has heretofore been almost entirely by way of the conventional methods of the Dipterists. In other words, descriptions have been based almost exclusively upon pinned specimens. Consequently these descriptions have, for the most part, considered only the conventional subjects of colour, wing venation, size, shape, form of the claws and a few of the more obvious chaetotactic characters. A few descriptions have been based upon alcoholic specimens and these descriptions are decidedly better than those based upon pinned specimens, although they still leave something to be desired.
