This species was reared the latter part of April and early in May 

 from supposedly typical galls of Caryomyia caryae O. S. 

 taken at Nassau, N. Y., September 16, 1908. The gall has been 

 received from Michigan. An examination of the larva shows that it 

 possesses a unidentate breastbone, while the male at least, differs 

 markedly from that of typical caryae by the subsessile, nearly cylin- 

 dric antennal segments. We are therefore constrained to erect a
