Neuromyia Felt 



1911 Felt, E. P. N. Y. Ent. Soc. Jour., 19:44 



This genus is erected for the reception of several small forms 

 erroneously referred at the outset to Arnoldia. These insects re- 

 semble, in a general way, Rhizomyia and may be readily sep- 

 arated therefrom by the strongly curved third vein uniting with 

 costa at the distal fourth, the 4 or 5 segments of the palpi and the 

 relatively short terminal clasp segment of the male genitalia. 

 Members of this genus are distinguished from Macrolabis Kieff. 

 by the basal clasp segment not being greatly enlarged and from 

 Arnoldia Kieff. by the stemmed antennal segments of the male. 

 Type N. minor Felt, erroneously referred to Kieffer's genus 

 Arnoldia.

Several specimens of this dark brown species, only .75 mm in 

 length, were taken on a window at Nassau, N. Y., July i, 1906. 

 It is the only known representative of the genus. 



Male. Length .75 mm. Antennae extending almost to the tip 

 of the abdomen, rather thickly haired, dark brown, fuscous basally ; 

 12 segments, the fifth with a stem as long as the basal enlargement, 

 which latter has a length three times its diameter ; terminal segment 

 slightly prolonged, slender, fusiform, obtuse distally. Palpi ; the 

 first segment rather stout, subquadrate, the second stouter, nar-
