NEW INDIAN GALL MIDGES. 



BY E. p. felt, ALBANY, N. Y. 



Below are characterized some exceptionally interesting new 

 species and genera occurring in a small collection recently sub- 

 mitted for study by Prof. T. Bainbrigge Fletcher, Imperial Ento- 

 mologist, Agricultural Research Institute, Pusa, Bihar. India. 



Colpodia fletcheri, n. sp. 



The midge described below is provisionally referred to this 

 genus because the sum total of the characters would suggest this 

 group rather than another, though the cross-vein is almost parallel 

 with costa, and there is an approach to a condition found in the 

 genus Didactylomyia Felt. The specimen was labeled "Pusa, 

 Bihar, India, U. Bahadur, January 1, 1916." It is easily dis- 

 tinguished by the peculiar, foliate, curved production of the termi- 

 nal clasp segment and the tri-lobed, foliate apex of the harpes. 



Male. — Length 1.25 mm. Antennae one-half longer than the 



December, 1916
