Abstract
The object of this paper is the description of a dipterous larva based on the study of six specimens of larvae obtained by Mr R. A. Phillips from living specimens of the snail Vertigo genesii Gredler which he had caught at Cloanascragh Bog, near Taum, Co. Galway. Three larvae were received in October 1933 through Prof. Boycott, and three in September 1936 directly from Mr Phillips. In a letter accompanying the specimens Prof. Boycott makes the following remark:“Considering that the whole snail shell is only about 2 mm. × 1 mm. the larvae seem very big.” In fact some of the shells are distinctly smaller than the adult larvae, which when mounted are 2·0–5·0 mm. long, and 0·3–1·5 mm. in diameter.
