This species was reared at Albany, N. Y., from the narrow- 

 leaved Solidago, S. graminifolia July 27, 1906, probably from 

 a loose apical gall though the plant was infested with the blister 

 galls of Baldratia carbonifera Felt. 



Female. Length 1.25 mm. Antennae extending to the base of 

 the abdomen, dark brown; 12 segments fifth subsessile, with a 

 length twice its diameter; terminal segment more than twice the 

 length of the preceding, the basal four-fifths subcylindric, the 

 distal part narrow, broadly rounded. Palpi; the first and second 

 segments short, stout, the third one-half longer than the second, 

 the fourth one-half longer than the third. Mesonotum dark brown, 

 submedian lines indistinct. Scutellum, postscutellum and abdomen 

 deep carmine, the scutellum, postscutellum and basal and terminal 

 abdominal segments tinged with yellowish. Wings hyaline, costa 

 dark brown, halteres yellowish basally, slightly fuscous apically. 

 Legs nearly uniform dark brown ; claws rather stout, slightly 

 curved. Ovipositor probably two-thirds the length of the body, the 

 terminal lobes slender, elliptical. Type Cecid. 713.
