Extract

Early in the course of a study of the dipteran family Ceratopogonidae,it was realized that very little was known about the species composition, both in numbers and kind, in the state of Connecticut. Consequently a sltudy was set up to determine the species present and the relative abundance of the more common forms. The results of this study are presented in this paper.
