Schizomyia viburni Felt 

 1908 Felt, E. P. N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 124:378 



This fem.ale was taken June 20, 1907 at Old Forge, N. Y., appar- 

 ently as she was about to oviposit in Viburnum. blossorn.s. It is 

 possible that later rearings may prove this to be the other sex of 

 S. altifila. 



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

 sparsely haired, dark brown; 14 segments, the third with a length 

 fully four times its diameter. Palpi; the first segment short, stout, 

 subquadrate, the second more slender, about one-half longer, the 

 third a little longer and more slender than the second, the fourth 

 one-half longer than the third. Mesonotum dark brown, the sub- 

 median lines sparsely clothed with fine hairs. Scutellum yellowish 

 brown with numerous light setae apically, postscutellum a little 

 darker. Abdomen dark brown, the segments rather thickly margined 

 posteriorly with coarse setae; venter lighter. Wings hyaline, costa 

 light brown; halteres pale yellowish. Coxae and base of femora 

 fuscous yellowish, distal portion of femora, tibiae and tarsi a nearly 

 uniform dark brown; claws long, slender, strongly curved, the pul- 

 villi shorter than the claws. Ovipositor probably nearly as long as 

 the body. Type Cecid. 12 12. 



Schizomyia caryaecola Felt 

 1908 Felt, E. P. N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 124:378 



The one female was reared June i, 1908 from a jar containing 

 a long, conic leaf gall on Bitternut or swamp hickory, C a r y a 

 cordiformis and undoubtedly produced by Caryomyia 

 caryaecola O. S. It is probable that the occurrence of the 

 midge in this jar was accidental.
