The genus Hormomyia, as originally proposed, was unfortunate 
in that its author attempted to include thereunder two very distinct 
forms, namely, a true Hormomyia represented by H. fasciata 
H. Loew not Meigen, now referred to H. dubitata Rubs., 
and a species closely allied to Phytophaga, namely, Mikiola 
fagi Hart. These very diverse forms were evidently associated 
because of apparent similarities, particularly as Kieffer has subse- 
quently made fagi the type of a new genus. We are constrained, 
after an examination of the literature, to hold Cecidomyia 
crassipes H. Lw. to be the type of this genus. 
Apparently ignoring characters given by Loew, Rondani attempted 
to limit the conception of Hormomyia to species having an equal 
number of antennal segments in both sexes and named as a type of 
this genus, H. cucullata Meig., a species apparently unknown —
