tennal segments in the female, the absence of hairs covering the 

 entire surface of the enlargement, the well developed claws and pul- 

 villi, and the short lobes of the ovipositor. The wings are probably 

 not long-haired as described b}^ Kieffer for Dipleciis. Type A. coc- 

 cidivora n. sp. 



Androdiplosis coccidivora new species. 



The one female obtained was reared by Prof. A. Rutherford, 

 Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya, Ceylon, from Aspidiotus or 

 Chrysomphahis species, probably C. orientalis News., on Limonia 

 alata. 



Female. — Length 1.2 mm. Antennre probably yellow, as long as the body, 

 sparsely haired, the basal enlargement light brown and distinctly binodose, the 

 constriction being as well marked as in many male Diplosids, smooth, and 

 with a length approximately half its diameter. The whitish, smooth, trans- 

 parent stem as long as the remainder of the segment, each enlargement with 

 an irregular whorl of stout setae near the middle and subapically a circumfilum, 

 the loops of the latter stout and with a length approximating the diameter of 

 the enlargement; terminal segment wanting. Palpi: first segment irregular, 

 the second with a length one-half greater than its diameter, the third nearly as 

 long as the second, and the fourth a little longer than the third, compressed. 

 Eyes holoptic, mouth-parts slightly produced. Thorax yellowish. Abdomen 

 yellowish orange. Wings faintly clouded near the middle and with small spots 

 apically. Halteres whitish transparent. Legs mostly pale straw, the claws 

 moderately stout, rather strongly curved near the distal third, the pulvilli as 

 long as the simple claws. Ovipositor short, the lobes short, broadly rounded 

 and thickly setose. A lateral plate has a broadly rounded sparsely setose 

 ventral lobe and a narrower, obliquely truncate dorsal lobe, the latter separated 

 by a deep and irregularly rounded emargination. 



Type Cecid. a2587. 



Dyodiplosis generosi new species. 



These midges were received from Prof. A. Rutherford, Royal 

 Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya, Ceylon, accompanied by the statement 

 that they were reared July 11, 1914, from twigs infested with 

 Hozuardia hidavis and a species of Aidacaspis near pentagona, the 

 latter being the more abundant. The reference of this well marked 

 species to the above named genus is provisional, and with the dis- 

 covery of the male it may prove necessary to erect another genus. 



Female. — Length 1.5 mm. Antennae probably nearly as long as the body, 

 sparsely haired, yellowish brown ; probably fourteen segments, third and fourth
