A female was taken at Karner, N. Y., May 19, 1906, presumably 

 on scrub oak, Quercus prinoides. A very similar form 

 was collected May 25 at Kaslo, B. C, by Dr H. G. Dyar. 



Female. Length 1.5 mm. Antennae as long as the body, thickly 

 haired, dark brown; 12 segments, the fifth with a stem one-third 

 the length of the subcylindric enlargement ; terminal segment slightly 

 produced. Palpi; first segment stout, the second as long as the first, 

 stouter, the third a little longer than the second, more slender, the 

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

 the sublateral and median posterior areas yellow. Scutellum pale 

 reddish, postscutellum yellow. Abdomen dark brown. Wings 

 hyaUne, costa dark brown. Halteres reddish transparent basally, 

 reddish fuscous apically. Legs, coxae and base of femora yellowish, 

 distal portion of femora yellowish brown; tibiae and tarsi dark 

 brown; claws stout, uniformly curved, unidentate. Ovipositor 

 short, terminal lobes suboval. Type Cecid. 62. 



Porricondyla antennata n. sp. 



This species was taken July 11, 1909 on low grasses in the vicinity 

 of water at Johnstown, N. Y., by Mr C. P. Alexander. 



Female. Length 1.5 mm. Antennae about as long as the body, 

 sparsely haired, fuscous yellowish; 12 segments, the fifth with a 

 stem one-fourth the length of the cylindric basal enlargement, which 

 latter has a length thrice its diameter; terminal segment produced, 

 with a length six times its diameter, a constriction at the distal 

 third. Palpi; the first segment with a length about three times 

 its diameter, the second broadly oval, the third one-half longer 

 and more slender, the fourth nearly twice the length of the third. 

 Mesonotum dark orange. Scutellum and postscutellum pale orange. 

 Abdomen reddish orange, the segments sparsely haired. Wings 

 hyaline, costa pale straw. Halteres pale yellowish. Legs mostly 

 pale straw ; claws rather stout, evenly curved, simple, the pulvilli 

 rudimentary.. Ovipositor short, the terminal lobes narrowly oval. 

 Type Cecid. 1360.

1914 Felt, E. P. Peyche 20:110 



The structure of the ovipositor distinguishes this species, col- 

 lected by Mrs A. T. Slosson at Franconia, N. H., from all other 

 females referable to the genus.
