SYNOPSIS The fine structure of the plastron of the spiracular gills of the pupa of a tipulid fly, Lipsothrix remota , is described. Evidence is provided for the view that plastron‐bearing spiracular gills have been independently evolved on at least four occasions in the Tipulidae and that at least two groups of the family have independently invaded the sea.
