NOTE. 



Tare, Cecidowyia. At p. 54, reference is given to a paper on Tare 

 Cecids for figure of a Cecidomyia showing the " anchor process," or 

 " breast-bone." I have not, however, succeeded in rearing any speci- 

 mens of the perfect insect {i. e., the Cecidomyia or Gnat Midge) from 

 the great number of Tare Cecid maggots which were placed in my 

 hands last summer. Therefore, as I cannot as yet identify the species, 

 and do not like to give an incomplete observation, the figure below is 

 substituted. 



This figure of the Cecidomyia Ie;/uminicola, Lintner, or American 

 Clover-seed Midge, which is sometimes found in England, will give the 

 reader a correct view of the usual form of the maggot of Cecidomyia, 

 with the anchor process beneath the head end ; the anchor process 

 still more magnified, with, in this instance (as in that of the Hop Strig 

 maggot), a bifid extremity ; and also a figure of the two-winged 

 Midge-gnat. 



Cecidomyia leguminicola. 



1, Clover-seed Midge ; 2, maggot ; 3, portion of female antenna, with minute 

 hairs figured on lowest joint; 4, portion of male antenna ; after Professor Riley ; 

 5, anchor process ; after Dr. Lintner ; all magnified ; 6, anchor process, figured from 

 English specimens, also magnified, by Ed. Nat. length of maggot about one-twelfth 

 of an inch.
