In a short paper publihsed in the Trans. Kans. Acad. Sci., Vol. XIII., on the occurrence, in a single restirced locality in Arizona, of a species of Micropeza, I gave a very brief resumé of the food-habits of some of the better known families of Acalyptrate, Muscidæ, with the view of suggesting the possible habit of the species there considered. This prompted me later to bring together all avialble notes on the subject. As these small flies are of much economic importance, both as being injurious and benefical, I have left that a quite compelte summary of their larval food-habits would be of much use to the working entomologist, besides being of no little importance to those who may be making a special study of the diptera.
