This species was reared the latter part of April and early in May 
from supposedly typical galls of Caryomyia caryae O.S. 
taken at Nassau, N. Y., September 16, 1908. The gall has been 
received from Michigan. An examination of the larva shows that it 
possesses a unidentate breastbone, while the male at least, differs 
markedly from that of typical caryae by the subsessile, nearly cylin- 
dric antennal segments. We are therefore constrained to erect a
