When an imaginal disc of a mature larva is implanted into a host larva of the same age, it undergoes metamorphosis with the host. On the basis of the results obtained from the transplanted whole disc and disc fragments, a fate map of the foreleg disc of Sarcophaga ruficornis has been constructed. The fate map of S. ruficornis presented by us is basically similar to that of Drosophila but anterior and posterior rows of bristles of femur, apical, preapical and one long bristle of tibia have been precisely localized.
