CuxNiNGHAM.—T he Uredinales, or Rust-fungi, of New Zealand. 51 
It is worthy of mention that the larva of a dipterous карар Cecidomyia 
uredinicola, also parasitizes the spores of many of our species of Uromyces, 
Puccinia, &c. The larva is about 3mm. in length, ands is conspicuous 
on account of its bright reddish-orange colour. It feeds only on the 
spores.
