each Single Joint. Head strongly gibbous above, which 

 gibbosity is very striking, vvhen viewed in front or from 

 the side; the black eyes oeing absolutely confluent, and 

 covering the whole gibbosity, occupy nearly the whole 

 surface of the head, except a small space round and below 

 the antennae, and a portioit- of the occiput, which are 

 brownish-red (the brown predoniinating in several specimens). 

 The ground color of the thorax is reddish; the dorsal por- 

 tion however, including the scutellum, are grayish-brown ; 

 rows ot yellowish hairs indicate the direction of the ordinary 

 stripes (wheu rubbed off these hairs show gray stripes 

 under them); the iniddle stripe is divided in two by a 

 grayish longitudinal line; pleurae and sternum reddish, 

 mixed with brownish-gray; abdomen reddish with grayish- 

 yellow hairs, long and erect along the sides, short and 

 appressed on the back; genitals pale. Feet brownish, with 

 a yellowish-gray, appressed pubescence, some longer hairs 

 on the underside of the femora; halteres with dark knobs. 

 Wings gray, secoud longitudinal vein arcuated in its latter 

 portion, ending immediately beyond the apex of the wing. 



Described from 4 i, and 7 ? specimens, before they 

 were dry. The extraordinary head will render the recog- 

 nition of this species easy. 



Observation. The antennae of this species, in both 

 sexes, are exactly similar to the pair of antennae figured 

 by Winnertz, in Linn. Entom. VIII, Tab. III, fig. 7, a, b. 

 Now these figures represent the antennae of Diplosis pini 

 De Geer, a species which forms a cocoon of resin on pine- 

 leaves. (An American species, called by me Cecid. pini- 

 inopis has exactly the same habit; compare Monographs of 

 N. A. Diptera, Vol. I, p. 196). But beyond this resem- 

 blance of the antennae, the perfect insects in both species 

 are very distinct, as well as the larvae and the pupae. 

 (The larva of D. pini, it may be remembered, has two rows 

 of peculiar fleshy tubercles along the back).
