nized by the long, knobbed, hairy feelers or antennae one half 
longer than the body. The female is about 1/16 of an inch long 
and may be distinguished by the shorter, less densely haired feelers 
or antennae. This sex is provided with a long, slender ovipositor 
as long as the body, well adapted to placing the tiny eggs within 
the developing floral tissues. 
Technical description. Larva. Length 1.5 to 2 mm. The 
smaller larvae are whitish, the larger ones pale yellowish. Head 
rather short, broad, with a length about equal to the diameter. 
Antennae short, stout, uniarticulate. Breastbone bidentate, the

portion semitransparent and tapering posteriorly. The segmenta- 
tion of the body rather distinct, the skin nearly smooth. The 
penultimate segment with a short, stout, cuticular process at the 
posterior lateral angles. Terminal segment broadly rounded, sub- 
truncate distally, posteriorly with a pair of submedian acute der- 
mal papillae, and just within, a pair of stouter, semitransparent, 
strongly curved pseudopods. Anus ventral, broadly oval. 
Male. Length 1mm. Antennae one half longer than the body, 
thickly haired, fuscous yellowish; 14 segments, the fifth with the 
basal portion of the stem with a length one half greater than its 
diameter, the distal part with a length three times its diameter, the 
enlargements subglobose, the basal one with a sparse subbasal 
whorl of setae, the circumfilum with the loops sparse, long and 
extending to or a little beyond the middle of the subglobular dis- 
tal enlargement, which latter has a scattering subbasal whorl of 
curved setae and a similar circumfilum, the loops extending to the 
base of the following segment. Palpi; first segment short, sub- 
quadrate, the second stout, with a length over three times its diam- 
eter, the third a little longer, more slender, the fourth one fourth
