A new genus and species belonging to this family was found in itsimmature stage in rapids associated with Simulium venustum Say and was reared.The larvae and pupae of this species, Rocderiodcs juncta Coq., were discovered first,the former crawling among the pupal cases of Simulium and the latter usually rest-ing within an abandoned Simulium pupal case. The flies were found clinging incompanies to the under side of pieces of board which rested just above the level of34 Explanation of Plate 7« y^epedon fusctpennts Loew.Fig.i.

The various stages of this interesting form are represented infigures 5-8 on plate 1. Sciomyzidee. Two interesting swale flies, Sepedon fuscipennis Loew. and Tetan-occra pictipcs Loew. were reared in large numbers. The former was quite commonat Saranac Inn, in Little Clear Creek, in places where the creek flowed throughbeds of bur-reed, Sparganiitm, intermixed below the surface of the water with riverweed, Potamogeton and Algae.
