Asphondylia baroni Felt 

 1908 Felt, E. P. N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 124:377 



A number of specimens were reared from galls collected by Mr 

 O. T. Baron on some unknown plant April 8, 1888 in Arizona, adults 

 appearing the loth and 15th. Isorhombus arizonensis 

 Ashm. MS and Polygnotus huachuacae Ashm. were 

 probably reared from this gall (Insect Life, 4:125, 126) 



Female. Length 3.5 mm. Antennae nearly as long as the body, 

 sparsely fine haired, yellowish brown; 14 segments, the third with a 

 length six times its diameter. Palpi; the first segment short, stout, 

 subglobose, the second rather stout with a length about three times 

 its diameter, the third slender, tapering slightly and with a length 

 more than twice the preceding. Mesonotum grayish brown, the 

 submedian lines dtill orange, sparsely haired. Scutellum fuscous 

 orange, postscutellum a little darker. Abdomen rather thickly 

 clothed with short, gray hairs, light brown. Wings hyaline, costa 

 light brown; halteres yellowish white basally, light brown apically. 

 Legs a nearly uniform light brown, the tarsal segments narrowly 

 annulate distally with dark brown; claws long, stout, strongly curved, 

 the pulvilli a little shorter than the claws. Ovipositor nearly as long 

 as the body. Type Cecid. 865. 



Asphondylia artemisiae Felt 

 1908 Felt, E. P. N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 124:377 



Galls of this species were taken by Mr H. K. Morrison on Artemisia 

 at Fort Grant, Ariz., July 5, 1882, the adults issuing before they were 

 received at the bureau of entomology, Washington, D. C. 



Female. Length 4 mm. Antennae nearly as long as the body, light 

 brown, thickly fine haired; 14 segments, the third with a length 

 six times its diameter. Palpi; the first segment short, irregularly 

 subglobose, the second stout, with a length nearly three times its 

 diameter, the third one-half longer and more slender than the second. 

 Mesonotum dark reddish brown, the submedian lines rather in- 

 distinct, sparsely haired. Scutellum yellowish brown, postscutellum 

 a little lighter. Abdomen dark yellowish brown, being somewhat 

 darker laterally. Ovipositor pale yellowish. Wings hyaline, costa 

 light brown; halteres pale yellowish. Legs a variable yellowish 

 brown, the distal tarsal segments slightly darker; claws long, rather 

 stout, strongly curved, the pulvilli shorter than the claws. Ovi- 

 positor nearly as long as the abdomen. Type Cecid. 861.
