 ent. Legs nearly uniform straw brown ; claws stout, strongly 

 curved, pectinate. Genitalia ; basal clasp segment stout, obliquely 

 truncate ; terminal clasp segment greatly enlarged and broadly 

 rounded. Dorsal plate about one-half the width of the entire seg- 

 ment, broadly rounded. Harpes stout, subtriangular basally, broadly 

 and roundly excavated laterally at the posterior third, apically

Monardia barlowi Felt 

 1908 Felt, E. P. N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 124, p. 316 (Campylomyza) 



This species was taken May 2, 1904 by Prof. John Barlow at 

 Kingston, R. L Apparently the same species has been taken at 

 Aweme, Manitoba, X. A\\ T., and at Hazleton, Pa. 



Male. Length 1.5 mm. Antennae extending to the third ab- 

 dominal segment, thickly long haired, dark brown ; 14 segments, the 

 fifth with a stem three-fourths the length of the subcylindric basal 

 enlargement ; terminal segment reduced, irregularly obtuse distally. 

 Palpi ; the first segment short, stout, irregularly oval, the second a 

 little longer, subrectangular, the third a trifle longer, more slender, 

 the fourth one-half longer than the third, more slender. ]\Iesono- 

 tum dark brown, submedian lines sparsely clothed with fine, yellow- 

 ish hairs. Scutellum dark brown. Abdomen reddish brown, rather 

 thickly clothed with yellowish hairs. Wings hyaline, costa light 

 brown, subcosta uniting with the margin just beyond the basal half. 

 Halteres and legs a nearly uniform fuscous yellowish, the distal 

 tarsal segments somewhat darker ; claws short, stout, strongly 

 curved, denticulate, the pulvilli as long as the claws. Genitalia; 

 basal clasp segment short, stout, a conspicuous lobe at the internal 

 distal angle, terminal clasp segment narrowed and prolonged at the 

 base, swollen distally, broadly rounded ; dorsal plate broad, broadly 

 rounded. Harpes apparently consisting of two subrectangular, ir- 

 regular plates with the internal and distal margins, the latter 

 strongly excavated, heavily chitinized. Type Cecid. 798.

 E. S. Tucker. 



Male. Length 1.25 mm. Antennae longer than the body, sparsely 

 haired, dark brown ; 14 segments, the fifth with a stem as long as 

 the subcylindric basal enlargement, which latter has a length one- 

 half greater than its diameter; terminal segment reduced, tapering, 

 obtuse. Palpi ; the first segment short, stout, irregularly oval, the 

 second as long as the first, slender, the third a little longer and 

 stouter than the second, the fourth one-half longer and more slender
