Extract

The eggs of Limnophora exsurda are described. The larva is in the 3rd stage when it emerges from the egg. The absence of larval trimorphism has been described in a number of dipterous larvae and appears to be correlated with a carnivorous mode of life in the larval stage. Notes on the nomenclature of L. exsurda by Mr J. E. Collin are given.
