Larva. The yellowish larva is about 1.3 mm in length with both 

 ends rounded and the segmentation distinct. One specimen mounted 

 has no distinct breastbone and may not prove to be the larva of this 

 species, hence it is not described in detail. 



Female. Length 1.5 mm. Antennae extending to the third abdo- 

 minal segment, sparsely haired, light fuscous yellowish, tinged with 

 reddish distally ; 16 segments, the fifth with a length about one-hilf 

 greater than its diameter, suboval, the terminal segment not pro- 

 duced and closely fused with the preceding. Palpi ; first segment 

 rectangular, the second broader, the third longer than the second, 

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

 Face yellowish. Mesonotum dark brown, the submedian lines 

 sparsely haired. Scutellum reddish orange, postscutellum a little 

 darker. Abdomen sparsely haired, dark brown, the incisures a 

 deep carmine, pleurae mostly yellowish, ovipositor fuscous yellow- 

 ish. Wings hyaline, costa dark brown. Halteres yellowish basally, 

 hght fuscous apically. Coxae and base of femora light yellowish, 

 the distal portion of femora, tibiae and tarsi a nearly uniform 

 dark fuscous straw ; claws long, stout, evenly curved, unidentate, 

 the pulvilli longer than the claws. Ovipositor about as long as the 

 abdomen, the terminal lobes with a length three times the width, 

 narrowly rounded. Type Cecid. aii54.

1909 Felt, E. P. Econom. Ent. Jour., 2 1288 



The pale whitish larvae of this species were found October 7, 



1908 in tightly rolled terminal leaflets of the beach-pea, Lathyrus 



maritimus, by Miss Cora H. Clarke at Magnolia, Mass. Adults 

 were reared April 13 and 15, 1909. 



Gall. The galls or rolled leaves are about i to 2 cm long, .2 cm 

 in diameter and a variable yellowish green. They are inhabited 

 by several larvae. 



Larva. Length 3 mm, pale whitish, rather stout, tapering at both 

 extremities. Head small, antennae long, slender. Breastbone bi- 

 dentate, weakly chitinized, the shaft subobsolete. Skin coarsely 

 shagreened. Posterior extremity broadly rounded, slightly bilobed. 



Male. Length 1.75 mm. Antennae nearly as long as the body, 

 thickly haired, dark brown; 18 segments, the fifth with a stem 

 three-quarters the length of the basal enlargement, which latter has 

 a length one-half greater than its diameter; subbasal whorl thick, 

 subapical band very thick ; terminal segment reduced, narrowly oval. 

 Palpi ; the first segment presumably subquadrate, the second with a 

 length over three times its diameter, the third one-third longer 

 and the fourth one-half longer than the third. Mesonotum shining 

 black, the submedian lines sparsely haired. Scutellum yellowish, 

 fuscous apically, postscutellum fuscous. Abdomen sparsely haired, 

 dark brown, the sclerites and venter pale yellowish. Genitalia fus-
