书评《褐飞虱科幼虫的昆虫学》.（=Cecidomyiidae），双翅目，1. Teil：Porricondylinae und Itonidinae Mitteleuropas，by Edwin Mohn; 247 pp.，30磅。Zoologica，38，Heft 105，Lieferungen 1 and 2，1955.到目前为止，我们对瘿蚊幼虫分类学的了解主要是由于两个人的工作--J. J. Tcieffer和E，H，Riibsaarnen。审查中的工作表明，出现了第三个主要捐助者。不像其他两个人，每个人都高潮了一长串的主要是较短的论文与一个主要的工作，本作者已经产生，作为他的初步贡献，一个广泛和彻底的专着。在描述部分的工作之前，讨论了饲养和安装技术，解剖特征和幼虫栖息地。特别感兴趣的是一个详细讨论的关系，各属的外部解剖和ha，bitats。本文的大部分内容包括详细的描述，从标本，160中欧Itonididae属于112属。从文献中收录了13个属的额外种的描述。只有22个物种是第一次被描述，但以前的许多“描述”只不过是关于胸骨形状的简短陈述;这里给出的统一描述将具有很大的价值。362个数字是半图解，但弧大，清晰，显然是足够的。包括对所描述的实施例的先前描述和附图的参考。所处理的属的模式种被指出;作者，以令人钦佩的克制，避免了指定自己的模式，但是如果他给了已经指定的模式种的权威，他会为未来的工作者节省很多麻烦。描述之后是一个关键的四个亚科的Itonididae和两个亚科的属这里处理，一个广泛的参考文献列表，和一个索引的属名和种名。作者似乎是一个linl;他指出，寡养体、无毛体和毛翅体的幼虫已经利用了几乎所有的还原可能性，预计不会出现新的形式。未来进化的性质和进程似乎超出了任何人的知识范围。这无疑是迄今为止关于瘿蚊幼虫的最详细和最彻底的主要工作。这是希望它将提供一个推动力的研究一直严重忽视，因为出版，在1938年，Riibsaamen的最后文件。J. R.沃克斯。
Book Review BEITRAGE ZUR SYSTEMATIK DER LARVEN DER ITONIDIDAE. (=CECIDOMYIIDAE), DIPTERA, 1. Teil: Porricondylinae und Itonidinae Mitteleuropas, by Edwin Mohn; 247 pp., 30 pls. Zoologica, 38, Heft 105, Lieferungen 1 and 2, 1955. Until now our knowledge of the taxonomy of gall midge larvae has been due largely to the work of two men-J. J. Tcieffer and E, H, Riibsaarnen. The work under review indicates that a third major contributor has appeared. Unlike the other two, each of whom climaxed a long series of mostly shorter papers with a major work, the present author has produced, as his initial contribution, an extensive and thorough monograph. The descriptive portion of the work is preceded by discussions of rearing and mounting techniques, of anatomical features and of larval habitats. Of particular interest is a detailed discussion of the relationships of the various genera as indicated both by external anatomy and by ha,bitats. The bulk of the paper consists of detailed descriptions, from specimens, of the larvae of 160 Central European Itonididae belonging to 112 genera. Descriptions of 1 3 additional species of as many genera are included from the literature. Only 22 of the species are described for the first time, but many of the previous "descriptions" were no more than brief statements concerning the shape of the breastbone; the uniform descriptions given here wiU be of great value. The 362 figures are semi-diagrammatic, hut arc large, clear and apparently quite adequate. References to previous descriptions and figures of the lmpae described are incIuded. Type species of she genera treated are indicated; the author, with admirable restraint, has refrained from designating types himself, but he would have saved future workers much trouble had he given the authority for the type species already designated. The descriptions are followed by a key to the four subfamilies of the Itonididae and to the genera of the two subfamilies treated here, an extensive list of references, and an index of generic and specific names. The author seems a linl; p r e ~ ~ r n p t u o ~ in stating that larvae of members of the tribes Oligotrophidi, Asphondilidi and Lasiopteridi have already utilized almost all reduction possibilities and that a development of new forms is not to be expected. The nature and course of future evolution would seem to be beyond the knowledge of anyone. This is undoubtedly th; most detailed and thorough major work on gall midge larvae yet to appear. I t is to be hoped it will provide an impetus to a study which has been badly neglected since the publication, in 1938, of Riibsaamen's last paper. J. R. VOCKEROTH.
