From the comparative study of the Malpighan tubes of about 75 species of the drosophilid flies belonging to 12 genera, the supposition was made that the tubes with comparatively long branches connected in pair to each of the two short common trunks, and having the tips of posterior branches separated from each other, represent a type original among the family Drosophilidae, while the tubes with short branches connected to long common trunks, and having the tips of posterior branches fused or closely apposed to each other, are the features modified from those of the original type. There seem to be compensatory developments not only between the length of common trunks and that of branches, as indicated above, but also between the length and the width of the tubes probably caused by environmental effects given in the larval stages.
