Wyeomyia bromeliarum sp. nov. 



We propose this term for the larvae described by us as W. asullepta 

 Theob. (Journ. N. Y. ent. soc, xiv, 228, pi. xv, fig. 69, 1906). The single 

 bred ailult has, most unfortunately, been nearly entirely destroyed since it 

 was identified by Mr. Coquiliett, and we are unable to check the identifi- 

 cation. There is no reason, however, to suppose it the same as the conti- 

 nental form, nsullepln.
