| Abstract: | The stylets of 2 species of Chrysops, including C. fulvaster O.-S., were examined under the scanning-electron microscope in the laboratory in Wyoming and are described in detail and illustrated. The mouthparts of the female indicated that it fed by piercing and cutting, while those of the male (particularly the absence of mandibles) indicated that it fed by sponging and sucking. |
