Hormomyia pudica sp. nov. 



The female described below was received through Mr. C. W. 

 Johnson of the Boston Society of Natural History and labeled 

 June 13, 1907, Hampton, N. H., S. A. Shaw, 1124. It is easily 

 separated from other females having more than eighteen antennal 

 segments, by the three circumfili and the long, uniarticulate palp. 



Female. Length, 5 mm. Antennae extending to the third abdominal segment, 

 sparsely haired, fuscous yellowish, at least eighteen segments, the fifth with a stem 

 about one-fourth the subeylindrie basal enlargement, which latter has a length twice 

 its diameter, is rather strongly constricted near the basal third and bears well devel- 

 oped circumfili basally, near the middle and apically. Palpi; the one long segment 

 is distinctly swollen basally, the distal two-thirds being slender and the total length 

 over one-half the width of the head. Mesonotum dark reddish brown. Scutellum 

 and postscutellum fuscous yellowish. Abdomen mostly reddish brown. Halteres 

 and legs mostly fuscous straw; claws long, evenly curved, the pulvilli about half 

 the length of the claws. Ovipositor short, terminal lobes broadly oval, thickly 

 setose, the ventral lobe roundly triangular. Type: Cecid. 1465. 



Hyperdiplosis bryanti sp. nov. 

 This interesting male was taken by Owen Bryant, August, 1907 

 at North Adams, Mass. 



Male. Length, 1 mm. Antennae probably one-half longer than the body, 

 sparsely haired, light straw; fourteen segments, the fifth having the stems three 

 and three and one-half times their diameters, the circumfili moderately short. Palpi; 

 first segment rather long, irregular, the second broad, M'ith a length thrice its diam- 

 eter, the third a little longer and more slender than the second, the fourth nearly 

 as long as the third, somewhat dilated. Mesonotum reddish brown. Scutellum 

 and post scutellum yellowish brown. Abdomen dark brown, the genitalia yellow- 

 ish. Halteres mostly whitish, slightly fuscous apically. The legs mostly straw 

 colored; claws strongly bent at right angles, simple, the pulvilli a little shorter than 

 the claws. Genitalia; basal and terminal clasp segments moderately long, rather 

 slender; dorsal plate short, deeply emarginate, the lobes apparently narrowly 

 rounded; ventral plate greatly produced, deeply and r*oundly emarginate — in this 

 specimen, irregularly so; style moderately long, stout. Type: Cecid. 1428. 



Itonida reflexa sp. nov. 

 The male described below was received from Mr. C. W. Johnson 

 of the Boston Society of Natural History and labeled: "I. B. 16, 

 1906, Hampton, N. H., S. A. Shaw, 1143." This species is easily 

 separated from the allied I. putrida Felt by the dark brown ab- 

 domen and the somewhat longer antennal stems. 



Male. Length, 2 mm. Antennae as long as the body, thickly haired, dark 

 brown; fourteen segments, the fifth having the stems with a length one and one-
