| Abstract: | Mouthparts of the female of two species representing Dasybasis Macquart were examined by scanning electron microscopy, and their structures are herein described. The morphology of mouthparts of these species suggests a haematophagous feeding habit. Females of D. senilis ( Philippi) and D. testaceomaculata ( Macquart) have mandibles with marginal teeth developed and lacinia and labrum with teeth and microteeth. |
