Aquatic Biota of Mexico, Central America and the West Indies

The Cuhcidae are one of the most readily recognized families of nematocerous Diptera. Adults are distinguished from those of the closely related Dixidae and Chaobotidae by the proloagatioa of the mouthparts into a proboscis and presence of scales on the veins of the wings. The pupae have the respiratory trumpet open at the tip and the spiracular opening at its base. In the larva, the 3 segments of the thorax are fused, and the antennae are not prehensile.
