dish brown, postscutellum dark brown. Abdomen dark yellowish brown. Hal- 
teres yellowish basally, fuscous apically. Coxe: and femora basally yellowish, the 
distal portion of femora and the tibize mostly dark straw. Tarsi yellowish brown, 
the posterior pair with the distal portion of the second and the third, fourth and 
fifth segments whitish. Ovipositor short, the terminal lobes biarticulate, the basal 
portion narrowly oval, the distal segment fusiform and sparsely setose. 
Type: Cecid. 1503. 
The midge was received from Mrs. A. T. Slosson and was labeled 
Franconia, N. H. The structure of the ovipositor serves to sep- 
arate it at once from all other females referable to this genus. 
Porricondyla papillata sp. nov. 
Female: Length 3 mm. Antenne extending to the fourth abdominal segment, 
ratherly thickly haired, yellowish, the distal segments brownish; 14 segments, the 
fifth with a short stem, the cylindrical basal enlargement with a length about three 
times its diameter. Palpi; the first segment long, with a length four times its diam- 
eter, the second short, irregular, the third nearly twice the length of the second, 
the fourth slender and fully twice the length of the third. Mesonotum reddish 
brown. Scutellum brownish yellow, postscutellum a little darker. Abdomen 
sparsely haired, vellowish brown. MHalteres brownish yellow. Coxe and femora 
mostly pale straw. ‘Tibiz a little darker, the tarsi yellowish brown. Claws stout, 
strongly curved, unidentate, the pulvilli longer than the claws. Ovipositor short, 
indistinct in the preparation, apparently being covered by two rounded lateral 
plates, each with a large, thick group of papille sublaterally; each papilla sub- 
conical, hirsute and apically with a falcate process. 
Type: Cecid. 1502. 
The midge characterized above was received from Mrs. A. T. 
Slosson and labeled Mount Washington. It is a large form easily 
separated from all other midges known to us, by the two large 
sublateral groups of papillz at the posterior extremity. 
Lasiopteryx crispata sp. nov. 
Larva: Length 2.5 mm., moderately stout, yellowish orange. Head rather nar- 
rowly triangular, apex narrowly rounded. Antenne biarticulate, tapering, with 
a length about three times the diameter; breastbone well chitinized, bidentate, 
the shaft tapering posteriorly and somewhat expanded at its extremity. Skin 
coarsely shagreened, posterior extremity broadly rounded, slightly bilobed. 
Female: Length1 mm. Antenne one-half the length of the body, sparsely haired, 
fuscous, the two basal segments yellowish; 13 and probably 14 subsessile segments, 
the fifth cylindric, with a length about 23 times its diameter and with a moderately 
thick subapical group of long, curved setz near the ventral third. Palpi; first 
segment irregular, the second with a length three times its diameter, the third and
