Excerpt from Journal of Entomology and Zoology, Vol. 7: 1915 On September 15, 1912, at Gloversville, Fulton County, New York, I took a fleshy species of Fomes (polyporus) growing on a stump near the earth. This contained about 35 larva of Limnobia cinctipes Say, and many larva of Ula elegans Osten Sacken. The larva of these crane-flies infested the upper layers of the fungus and had reduced the surface to a semi-liquid state. At the end of a week the whole mushroom was decayed and semi-liquid. The record of proceedings as it appears in my field-notes is as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Journal of Entomology and Zoology, Vol. 7: 1915 The genus Via was erected by Haliday (Entomological Magazine. Vol. 1, p. 153, 1833) for the species mollissima, nov'., which is now recognized as being the same as the Limnobia macroptera of Macquart (Recueil Soc. Sc. Agricult., Lille, p. 158, 1826). The genus includes six described species, macropiera Macquart, the genotype, sororaila Zcttcrstcdt, and bolitophila Loew, of Europe; elegans Osten Sackcn and pauper a Osten Sacken of the United States; and javanica Alexander of Java. The scries of North American material that I have had for study render it probable that paupera Osten Sackcn (Mon. Dipt. N. Am., vol. 4, pp. 277, 278, 1869) is the same species as elegans Osten Sacken (I. c., pp. 276, 277). The insect varies greatly in its body coloration and in the intensity of the pattern on the wings. It seems possible, moreover, that the three European species are merely variations of a single species, but this question cannot be decided at this time. Osten Sacken in 1859 (Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., p. 199) placed this genus in the tribe Pedicini (as Pediciaformia) and in 1869 (Mon. Dipt. N. Am., vol. 4, p. 274 to 278) still retained it in this tribe (as Amalopina). It has been left in this tribe by all subsequent workers, but the study of the immature stages shows that the reference is quite erroneous. The genus Ula should be placed in the Limnopllini close to Ulomorpha Osten Sacken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
