The article studies the dipterans larval epigenetics. At the descriptive level, the embryology of dipteran larvae shows a remarkable uniformity. Cleavage, gastrulation and organogeny follow a broadly similar course in all species. Experimentation, however, reveals that this similarity is deceptive. The causal processes which have been displayed in the experimental analysis of different species appear to have little in common, especially where the species belong to widely separated taxonomic sub-groups within the order.
