This small. midge is so abundant as to render it practically im- 

 possible to grow clover seed in western New York and also in 

 other parts of the country, though there are no recent reports of 

 its occurring in such numbers as were observed in earlier years. 

 The species was first brought to notice when Doctor Lintner's 

 attention was called to some minute maggotlike creatures in the 

 heads of red clover. It caused serious injuries to clover in Tomp- 

 kins, Seneca and other counties in western New York during 1878.
