 This species produces a woolly, brownish, spheroid gall on Quercus 

 leaves, resembling somewhat a Caryomyia gall on hickory. The 

 above is drafted from microscopical preparations prepared by Pro- 

 fessor Rubsaamen and in the Natural History Museum at Berlin. 

 One American species is known.

This species was reared July 26, 1907 from a loose pod composed 

 of the adherent terminal leaves of Solidago canadensis 

 containing a number of Cecidomyiid larvae. This gall was taken 

 by Mr L. H. Joutel at Jamesburgh, N. J., July 15, 1907. The pupa, 

 before the adult emerges, escapes from the cocoon, leaving the 

 exuviae lying beside the latter. 



Gall. The gall made by this species is a loose, slightly swollen 

 pod composed of the adherent terminal leaves of Solidago 

 canadensis. It contains a number of yellowish larvae. 



Cocoon. The cocoon is about 1.5 mm long, .75 mm in diameter 

 and whitish. 



Female. Length 1.25 mm. 

 Antennae apparently extending 

 to the third abdominal segment, 

 sparsely haired, reddish brown ; 

 15 segments, the first broadly ob- 

 conic, the second flattened bas- 

 ally, subhemispheric, the third 

 and fourth narrowly fused, the 

 fifth subsessile, with a length 

 nearly three times its diameter, a 

 sparse subbasal whorl of short, 

 curved setae and a broad sub- 

 apical band of longer, rather .
