Abstract

Fam. Stratiomyiidae.
The species belonging to this family are easily recognised
by a combination of two venational characters - one
is a short distal cell emitting veins, some of which do not
as a rule reach the wing border, and the lower branch of
the cubital fork running to or above the apex of the wing
is the other. The antennae are of diverse forms, the third
joint of which may consist of as many as eight segments
clearly defined, or all or many of these segments may be
partly or completely fused. The abdomen consisting of
from five to seven visible segments is often depressed.
