Abstract:

Examination of single adult females of Hybomitra trispilus sodalis (Will.) (H. sodalis) and Tabanus similis Macq. and two males of Chrysops univittatus Macq. collected in central New York State in 1972-73 revealed the presence of identical cysts in the hind-gut. The fluid within the cysts, which were thought to have formed during metamorphosis, was found to contain hundreds of unidentified crystalline structures.
