REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST I912 161 



Neurolyga Rond., 1846, appears to be close to Peromyia Kieff, 

 and the latter may prove to be identical therewith. 



The pupa of the typical species is somewhat remarkable on ac- 

 count of its slender form and especially because of the 3 lateral 

 triangular appendages arising from the first to third segments. The 

 ventral abdominal surface is thickly studded with chitinous points, 

 while the dorsum is ornamented with short, stout, chitinous spines. 

 Type P . 1 e V e i 1 1 e i Kieff. No American forms have been 

 recognized.

This West Indian genus is evidently allied to Campylomyza 

 Meign. and may be distinguished therefrom, as indicated by the 

 describer's illustration of the wing, by the absence of the rudimen- 

 tary fourth vein ; subcosta unites with the margin at the basal 

 third, the third vein at the apex and the fifth just beyond the basal 

 half, its branch near the basal third. The female antenna, as 

 illustrated, presents much the same form as that of Joannisia with 

 which this genus may be closely allied. Type T. modesta 

 Will.

This genus is evidently related to Joannisia Kieff., though 

 readily separable therefrom by the small number of antennal seg- 

 ments and by the rudimentary fourth vein being obsolete distally. 

 Type M. fungicola Felt.

This species was reared from young mushrooms collected by 

 H. Cecil Evans at San Rafael, Cal., September 7, 1897. Mr Per- 

 gande, of the Bureau of Entomology, Washington, D. C, states 

 that the flies are red, the abdomen paler, marked with narrow, 

 pale dusky bands, the thorax is dusky or blackish above, eyes 

 black. Antennae and legs pale dusky and with a yellowish tinge. 



Larvae. Length .75 mm., rather stout, broadly rounded poster- 

 iorly, nearly so anteriorly, pale orange. Head subrectangular with 

 a diameter about one-half that of the body, antennae apparently 

 uniarticulate, rather long, stout, with a length about five times the
