DiPTEROCECIDIA. 



The following names are based on the galls only, the midge 

 which causes the gall being unknown. They are provisionally 

 placed under the generic name of Cecidomyia until the gall- 

 maker is reared and described. The specific names also are sub- 

 ject to change, unless the person who describes the midge chooses 

 to adopt the same name. The form of the galls is, as a rule, so 

 characteristic of the species that it seems detrimental to a study 

 of the family to omit them.
