Hormomyia cincta n. sp. 
This large species was captured May 21, 1906, by S. A. Shaw at 
Hampton, N. H., and transmitted to this office for study through 
the courtesy of Prof. C. W. Johnson of Boston, Mass. 
Female. Length 7 mm. Antennae rather thickly haired, fuscous 
yellowish; twenty-four segments, the fifth with a stem about one- 
sixth the length of the subcylindric basal enlargement, which latter 
has a length three times its diameter, is slightly constricted near the 
basal third; low circumfila occur near the basal third and apically; 
terminal segment reduced, narrowly oval. Palpi probably biarticu- 
late. Mesonotum a variable reddish brown, the submedian lines 
and posterior median area fuscous yellowish. Scutellum yellowish, 
postscutellum dark brown. Abdomen a variable yellowish, the 
segments margined posteriorly with dark brown and with a broad, 
indeterminate, dark brown band laterally; ovipositor pale orange; 
venter apparently concolorous with the dorsum. Wings hyaline, 
costa pale brown, the third vein joining the margin at the apex. 
Halteres fuscous yellowish. Coxae a variable fuscous yellowish; 
femora and tibiae mostly yellowish brown, the latter slightly fuscous 
apically; tarsi mostly fuscous yellowish; claws long, stout, slightly 
curved, the pulvilli about one-third the length of the claws. Ovi- 
positor short, the lobes broadly oval. Type Cecid. 1345. 
Hormomyia maxima n. sp. 
This species was swept from palustral grasses at Johnstown, N. Y., 
June 8, 1909, by C. P. Alexander. This may prove to be the female 
of H. americana Felt. 
Female. Length 8mm. Antennae about three-fourths the length 
of the body, sparsely haired, pale yellowish; twenty-three segments, 
the fifth with a stem about one-fourth the length of the cylindric 
basal enlargement, which latter has a length two and one-half times 
its diameter, is slightly constricted near the basal third, low circum- 
fila near the basal third and apically; terminal segment slightly 
produced, with a length three times its diameter or with a rudi- 
mentary additional segment. Palpi; uniarticulate, the basal third 
greatly thickened ventrally and broadly rounded, the distal portion 
slender, strongly curved at the basal third and tapering to an 
irregular, setose apex. Mesonotum reddish brown. Scutellum and 
postscutellum pale yellowish orange, the latter broadly fuscous 
posteriorly. Abdomen deep salmon, the dorsal sclerities sparsely 
fused with fuscous scales; ovipositor yellowish, light fuscous apically. 
Wings hyaline, costa pale straw, the third vein joining the margin 
beyond the apex. Halteres whitish basally, fuscous yellowish 
apically. Coxae and legs mostly pale straw, the tibiae and tarsi 
slightly darker; claws long, irregularly curved, simple, the pulvilli 
one-fourth the length of the claws. Ovipositor short, the terminal 
lobes narrowly rounded. Type Cecid. 1371.
