setose apically ; style moderately long, tapering, broadly rounded 

 apically. 



Female. Length .75 mm. Antennae a little longer than the body, 

 thickly haired, dark brown ; 14 segments, the fifth with a stem one- 

 third the length of the cylindric basal enlargement, which latter has a 

 length over twice its diameter; subbasal whorl of setae stout and 

 sparse ; subapical band scattering ; terminal segment produced, the 

 basal enlargement subcylindric, with a length fully four times its 

 diameter and apically a rather stout, finger-like process. Ovipositor 

 short, the terminal lobes narrowly oval, slightly constricted basally and 

 sparsely setose. Other characters nearly as in the male. 



Larva. Length 1.25 mm., rather stout, pale yellowish with pinkish 

 extremities. Head rather long, narrowly triangular, the anterior third 

 chitinized. Antennae rather stout, with a length five times their diame- 

 ter and arising from distinct elevations ; breast-bone wanting. Skin 

 coarsely shagreened, the segments each with a lateral seta near the 

 middle; posterior extremity contracted, the thirteenth segment half the 

 width of the twelfth, the fourteenth about a third narrower than the 

 thirteenth, truncate, with a long seta at each latero-posterior angle and 

 two pairs of submedian short, stout, semi-transparent tubercles at the 

 dorsal extremity. 



Type. Cecid 3.2134, N. Y. State Museum. 



Contarinia lycopersici n. sp. 



The species described below was reared February 3, 1911, 

 from the flowers of tomatoes, Lycopersicum cscnlcntum. It 

 appears to be allied to C. solani Rubs, though there are marked 

 differences in colorational characters, and a comparison with 

 a female specimen of the European form, kindly sent us b\ 

 Prof. Rubsaamen. shows certain structural differences. The 

 West Indian species has relatively longer and more slender 

 antennal segments. 



Male. Length .75 mm. Antennae twice the length of the body, 

 thickly haired, light brown ; 14 segments, the fifth having the basal 

 portion of the stem with a length one-half greater than its diameter, 

 the distal part with a length 2^ times its diameter; basal enlargement 

 subglobose, the subbasal whorl sparse, the loops of the circumfilum 

 long, those on the dorsum produced and extending to the apex of the 

 segment, the distal enlargement slightly produced, broadly oval, with a 

 sparse whorl of setae and a similar circumfilum, the loops of the latter 

 extending to the tip of the basal enlargement on the following seg-
