Pura, Jammu, India. Larva was maggot like with large head, thorax and abdomen with typical black head, 12 abdominal segments and last abdominal segment carried two pairs of caudal bristles with matchstick hairs on each segment. The adult fly possessed head, abdomen and thorax. Head consisted of pair of long, hairy and beaded antenna, proboscis and one pair of prominent black eyes. Thorax possessed a pair of wings and three pairs of legs, wings were hairy and pointed with 2\n                    <jats:sup>nd<\/jats:sup>\n                    longitudinal vein branched twice.
