This species was reared April 29, 1915, by George G. Ainslie from 
what were evidently modified buds or shoots of a sedge, probably 
cyperus species collected at Clarksville, Tenn. The galls occurred at 
the very base of the plant. The midge is easily distinguished from 
other known females by. the greatly produced fifth antennal segment 
in connection with its moderate size.

with a length one-half greater than its diameter, the distal part 
with a length half its diameter; basal enlargement subglobose, with 
a sparse whorl of stout setae and a circumfilum; distal enlargement 
produced, with a length nearly twice its diameter and subbasal and
