Family CECIDOMYIIDAE. 
It should be remarked respecting the nomenclature of this 
family that the alterations suggested by Dr. Karsch, and accepted 
by Rubsaamen, Keiffer and others, have been vigorously opposed 
by both Aldrich and Osten Sacken. Aldrich says (Cat. N. Amer. 
Dipt., 152): ‘‘ The practical effect of the changes adopted by 
Karsch, Riibsaamen and Kieffer is to apply the name Cectdomyia 
to the Dzrflosis of Osten Sacken’s catalogue, and to divide up his 
Cecidomyia between Rhabdophaga and Dasyneura...... the adop- 
tion of the changed nomenclature will leave few members of the 
family in the same genera to which Osten Sacken referred them.”’ 
Osten Sacken had expounded and, I think, fully substan- 
tiated his views (Ent. Month. Mag., rgor, p. 40) and concluded 
as follows: ‘‘ What I would propose now would be to restore as 
far as possible the original concept of Cecidomyia of Meigen and 
Latreille, and to consider the very numerous new genera, since 
formed at its expense, as subgenera.” 
My own view is identical, but having no practical experience 
of the family I refrain from inaugurating the change in the pre- 
sent catalogue. 
It must also be noted that species of which the adult form is 
not known are not included as an integral part of the catalogue, 
but the mames of such species are given, with a brief reference to 
the works in which they are described.
