Extract

The Hippelates flies or eye gnats are dipterous insects of considerable interest to medical entomologists and public health workers because of their relation to the transmission of yaws and epidemic eye diseases, and because of their persistently annoying habits. The writer has been engaged in studies leading to the preparation of a comprehensive, illustrated monograph of the group in the western hemisphere, a work long needed because of the close similarity of the many species and the difficulty of proper determinations from the literature.
