THE PROCESS BY WHICH THE PUPARIA OF MANY SPECIES OF FLIES BECOME FIXED TO A SUBSTRATE

G. FRAENKEL 1 and VICTOR J. BROOKES 1

1 Department of Entomology, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois

1. The puparia of many flies become fixed to a substrate by means of a secretion which accumulates in the lumen of the salivary glands toward the end of the larval period and is expelled immediately before the formation of the puparium is completed.

2. The process of fixation has been described for Drosophila melanogaster and Phormia regina.

3. The changes in the size and appearance of the salivary glands of Phormia regina during the accumulation of the salivary secretion and after its elimination have been described.

4. The process of secretion in the glands of Drosophila has been previously described by other authors, but its true function has never been recognized.
