Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Robber-Flies of America North of Mexico, Belonging to the Subfamilies Leptogastrinae and Dasypogoninae
In the preparation of this paper, the valuable Loew and Osten Sacken type collections, the translations above referred to, the most praiseworthy work of Dr. S. W. Williston, and Aldrich's Catalogue have proved indispensable. Up to this time almost no illustrations of North American Dasypogoninae have been published except the line drawings of Dr. Williston in the Transactions American Entomological Society of Phila delphia, and a half - tone plate by Dr. L. 0. Howard in his Insect Book, Plate XIX. In this paper, each genus, with few exceptions, has been illustrated by an enlarged photograph of one or more species, and it is hoped that these will be of no small aid in the identification of genera.
