''New Species of Gall-producing Cecidomyiidae." — William Beuten- 

 muller. Bid. Am. Mzcs. Nat. Hist., vol. xxiii, 1907, pp. 385-400, 



pis. I3-I7» 



Thirty-one species of the g-all-producing: flies are noticed in this 

 paper, and twenty of them are described as new. The galls produced 

 by all but two of the thirty-one species are figured, and reference is 

 "made to other literature in which cuts of these two may be found. 

 The paper is of particular local interest for the reason that most of the 

 galls described may be found in the vicinity of New York City and 

 five of the new species are mentioned as occurring on Staten Island.
