size, the darker color of the abdomen, the more distinctly and 
broadly white-banded posterior tarsi and the relatively longer 
antennal segments. 
Hormomyia proteana sp. nov. 
Male: Length 5 mm. Antenne extending to the third abdominal segment, 
sparsely haired, fuscous yellowish; 14 segments, the fifth subsessile, subcylindric, 
with a broad constriction at the basal third; the eighth and following rather plainly 
binodose, with stems about three-fourths and one-half their diameters, respectively. 
The three circumfili irregular and apparently forming double or nearly double bands. 
Terminal segment with a narrow constriction dividing the globose basal enlarge- 
ment and the fusiform distal swelling. Palpi probably small (indistinct in the 
preparation) and presumably uni- or biarticulate. Mesonotum shining black. 
Scutellum and the lateral and posterior margins of the thorax yellowish, the post- 
seutellum dark brown. Abdomen mostly yellowish brown. Halteres yellowish. 
Coxe and legs fuscous yellowish; claws simple, the pulvilli rudimentary. Geni- 
talia; basal clasp segment long, moderately stout; terminal clasp segment long, 
stout; dorsal plate broadly, deeply and triangularly emarginate, the lobes moder- 
ately slender and narrowly rounded apically; ventral plate moderately long, broad, 
broadly rounded. 
Type: Cecid. 1521. 
The large midge described above was collected by Mr. C. W 
Johnson at Auburndale, Mass., May 28. _ It is easily distinguished 
from other large Hormomyias by the antennal segments and par- 
ticularly by the cylindric character of the basal ones of the flag- 
ellum. 
Parallelodiplosis cinctipes sp. nov. 
Male: Length 1 mm. Antenne one-half longer than the body, thickly haired, 
pale straw; 14 segments, the fifth with stems 2 and 23 times their diameters, re- 
spectively. Circumfili moderately long. Palpi; first segment short, broadly oval, 
the second quadrate, with a length more than twice its width, the third a little 
shorter and more slender than the second, the fourth one-half longer than the third, 
dilated. Mesonotum yellowish brown. Scutellum yellowish, postscutellum and 
abdomen yellowish brown. Wings subhyaline, with indistinct fuscous areas 
near the distal fourth, before and behind the third vein, near the middle, on the 
margin between the third and fifth veins, and on the fork of the fifth and at the 
basal third an indistinct diffused area extending nearly across the wing. Halteres 
yellowish transparent. Legs dark brown, broadly banded with white as follows: 
Femora, the apical half; tibiae, a broad band near the basal third and the apical 
half; tarsi, the apex of the first segment and the basal two thirds of the second, 
the basal two thirds of the third and most of the fourth and fifth, the banding being 
more striking on the posterior than on the anterior or mid legs. Genitalia; basal 
clasp segment moderately long, stout, with a distinct tooth at the internal basal
