Mycodiplosis Carolina Felt 



191 1 Felt, E. P. Econom. Ent. Jour., 4:549 



The small, pale yellowish fly was reared August 8, 1895 by Mr 

 Pergande from leaves of Lilium superbum received at the 

 Bureau of Entomology from H. T. Kelsey, Kawani, N. C This 

 species appears to be closely related to M. robusta Felt. 



Eggs. Length 4 mm, narrowly oval, whitish with microscopic 

 reticulations. 



Larva. The whitish or rose-colored larva, mounted as belonging 

 to this species, has a length of i mm, is rather stout, the segments 

 distinct, the head is withdrawn in the specimen and there is no 

 evidence of a breastbone; skin coarsely shagreened; each segment 

 bears laterally, near its posterior third, a large seta, that on the last 

 segment perceptibly larger; posterior extremity subtruncate, slightly 

 bilobed with rather large tubercles at the lateral posterior angles 

 and smaller, conical tubercles mesially.
