length about equal to its diameter, the terminal segment produced, with a 

 length one fourth greater than its diameter and broadly rounded apically. 

 Palpi, the first segment short, irregular; the second with a length twice its 

 diameter; the third a little shorter than the second; and the fourth a little 

 longer than the third. The dorsum of the abdominal segments dark brown 

 with a medium triangular whitish area apically and oblique white lines later- 

 ally. There is also a distinct moderately narrow white band basally. Geni- 

 talia, basal clasp segment moderately long, stout ; terminal clasp se.gment 

 rather long, slender. Dorsal plate deeply and triangularly emarginate, the 

 lobes narrowly rounded apically ; ventral plate long, broad, broadly rounded 

 apically. Harpes long, tapering, obtusely pointed apically. Legs dark brown, 

 the tarsal segments narrowly annulate with white basally. Claws long, stout, 

 strongly curved, tinidentate, the pulvilli nearly as long as the claws. 



Female. — Length 1.75 mm. Antennae short, yellowish brown, 19 segments, 

 the fifth with a length a little shorter than its diameter, the terminal segment 

 broadly oval. Palpi, first segment irregular, the second with a length nearly 

 three times its diameter, the third a little longer and more slender than the 

 second, the fourth one half longer than the third. Mesonotum, scutellum and 

 postscutellum dark brown. Abdomen mostly dark brown dorsally, the first 

 segment possibly mostly white, the other segments apparently with a narrow 

 white line apically. The ovipositor nearly as long as the abdomen, pale yel- 

 lowish, the terminal lobes narrowly oval with a length over twice the width, 

 and rather thickly clothed with short, stout setae. Wings hyaline, the third 

 vein uniting with costa at the basal half. Halteres whitish, transparent. Legs 

 mostly dark brown, the tarsal segments possibly obscurely and narrowly banded 

 with white. 



Pupa. — Length 2 mm. Antennal cases extending to the base of the thorax, 

 the wing cases to the third abdominal segment, and the leg cases to the fifth,

Janetiella siskiyou new species. 



The midge described below was first reared from material received 

 under date of January 9, 1917, from E. R. Sasscer, chief inspector of 

 the Federal Horticultural Board, Washington, D. C, accompanied by 

 the record: " One pound seed Chanicccyparis lawsoniana collected Sep- 

 tember, 191 6, elevation 250 feet. Open grown, second growth trees. 

 Section 31, T. 31 S., R. 11 W., W. i M., one mile north of Siskiyou 

 National Forest, along south fork of Coquille River. H. E. Haefuer, 

 collector of the seed." This material was recorded under Federal 

 Horticultural Board number 20284. 



An examination showed that the winged seeds were more or less 

 deformed and inhabited by pale yellowish larvae, which latter may be
