thirds of the length of the discal cell. The hind cross-vein a little longer 
than the preceding section of the fourth vein, about two-thirds as long as 
the last section of the fifth vein. The costa extends to the fourth vein. 
Female. Oral margin only a little produced with a single small vibrissa 
on each side. Ovipositor short, shining black with numerous hairs, the 
apical ones as long as any of the abdomen. 
Length, 1.5 mm. in both sexes. 
Described from thirty-three specimens of both sexes bred 
from seeds of lantana in the Hawaiian Islands by O. H. Swezey. 
I identified this species a few months ago as Agromyza affinis 
Malloch, a species which was described from a single female 
taken in the vicinity of Washington, D. C. Mr. Malloch doubt- 
fully associates with this female two males from Key West, Fla. 
I have recently succeeded in identifying the true male of affinis 
from approximately the latitude of Washington. I find that it 
differs from the male of Jantanae in having the cluster or pencil 
of vibrissal hairs much more thickened at the base; that is, 
apparently part of these hairs are short so they only increase 
the size of the cluster at the base. I am still unable to see any 
satisfactory characters for separating the two species in the 
female sex, but since lantana does not grow at Washington, 
affinis must have an entirely different larval habit, which would 
tend to confirm their distinctness. Mr. J. C. Bridwell has sub- 
mitted a series of twelve specimens of an Agromyza which he 
bred from Lantana camara at Brownsville, Tex., in April and 
May, 1921. The specimens are badly denuded, but I do not 
doubt that they are the same species. 
Four specimens sent by Dr. J. F. Illingworth from Gordon- 
vale, North Queensland, where they were bred from lantana, 
are also the same species. I also include here the two males 
from Key West, Fla., mentioned by Malloch in connection with 
his description of affinis.
