1-14 Psyche [October 



a length one-half greater than its diameter, the distal part with a length two and 

 one-half times its diameter, the distal enlargement constricted at the basal third and 

 with a length nearly twice its diameter; terminal segment, the basal stem with a 

 length five times its diameter, the distal enlargement irregular, with a length three 

 times its diameter and an irregular, fingerlike process equally long. Palpi; first 

 segment irregularly subquadrate, the second nearly twice the length of the first, the 

 third, one-third longer than the second, the fourth, one-half longer than the third, 

 more slender. Mesonotum dark brown. Scutellum and postscutellum fuscous 

 yellowish. Abdomen thickly haired, yellowish brown. Halteres and legs mostly 

 pale straw, the distal tarsal segments somewhat darker; claws slender, evenly 

 curved, anterior unidentate, the pulvilli rudimentary. Genitalia fuscous yellow- 

 ish; basal clasp segment broad, with a broad subquadrate, subapical, glabrous 

 lobe and apically a tapering, spined lobe; terminal clasp segment long, slender; 

 dorsal plate short, broadly and triangularly emarginate, the lobes tapering to a 

 narrowly rounded, setose apex; ventral plate narrow, long, broadly rounded and 

 thickly setose apically; style long, tapering. Type: Cecid. 1454. 



Coquillettomyia bryanti sp. now 



The midge described below is easily separated from its allies 

 by the broad, white annulations on the tarsi. It was taken by 

 Owen Bryant, August, 1907, at North Adams, Mass. 



Male. Length, 1/25 mm. Antenna; probably twice the length of the body, 

 sparsely haired, fuscous yellowish; fourteen segments, the fifth having the stems 

 with a length three and one-half and four and one-half times their diameters, re- 

 spectively; distal enlargement with a length twice the diameter and a marked con- 

 striction near the basal third. Palpi; the first segment with a length three times its 

 diameter, the second a little longer, stouter, the third slightly longer than the sec- 

 ond and the fourth, one-half longer than the third, somewhat dilated. Mesonotum 

 reddish brown, the submedian lines, scutellum and postscutellum fuscous yellowish. 

 Abdomen yellowish brown. Halteres yellowish. Legs mostly dark brown, the 

 first tarsal segment and the base of the second, white, the latter and third and fourth 

 broadly annulate with white apically, the fifth white; claws slender, strongly curved 

 basally, the anterior unidentate, the pulvilli about half the length of the claws. 

 Genitalia; basal clasp segment stout, with a short emarginate lobe basally, the 

 margin heavily chitinized; terminal clasp segment slender; dorsal plate short, broad, 

 broadly and slightly emarginate; ventral plate short, tapering, broadly emarginate. 

 Harpes produced as free, strongly recurved, heavily chitinized processes. 



Female. Length, 1.25 mm. Antennae about as long as the body, sparsely 

 haired, fuscous yellowish; fourteen segments, the fifth with a stem about three- 

 fourths the length of the cylindric basal enlargement, which latter has a length two 

 and one-half times its diameter; basal portion of the distal segment cylindric, with 

 a length four times its diameter and apically with a process as long as the enlarge- 

 ment and distinctly swollen at the basal fourth. Mesonotum brownish red. Ab- 

 domen brownish yellow. Ovipositor short, the lobes irregularly ovate and thickly 

 setose, other characters practically as in the male. Type: Cecid. 1452, 1453.
