This dark reddish male was taken June 16, 1906 in a trap lantern 

 at Newport, N. Y., and similarly captured July 14th at Huguenot 

 Park, Staten Island, N. Y. 



Male. Length i mm. Antennae probably longer than the body, 

 sparsely haired, dark brown; fourteen segments, the fifth with stems 

 two and one-half and three and one-half times their diameters 

 respectively. Palpi; the first segment subquadrate, swollen distally, 

 the second, third and fourth, each subequal and successively more 

 slender; face sooty yellow. Mesonotum dark brown, submedian 

 lines yellow, each sparsely clothed with fine setae. Scutellum yel- 

 lowish brown with sparse apical setae, postscutellum dark yellowish. 

 Abdomen dark reddish brown with the basal and terminal segments 

 yellowish, rather thickly yellow haired. Wings hyaline, costa 

 reddish brown; halteres pale yellowish l)asally, fuscous apically. 

 Legs a nearly uniform dark brown, lighter ventrally; claws rather 

 long, bent at nearly right angles, simple. Genitalia (pi. ao, fig. i); 

 basal clasp segment stout, an angulate lobe at the distal third; 

 terminal clasp segment swollen at the base, long; dorsal plate broad, 

 deeply and narrowly incised, the lobes irregularly truncate; ventral 

 plate swollen at the base, slender at the distal fourth, expanding 

 apically. broadly emarginate, setose. Type Cecid. 325.

This genus was erected for certain small, yellowish .species with 

 simple claws bent at nearly right angles and a very long, broad, 

 very deeply and broadly emarginate ventral plate with long, slender, 

 more or less divergent lobes. The dorsal plate is short, deeply and 

 roundly emarginate, the lobes being broadly and roundly emarginate 

 and with the lateral and internal angles produced and setose. The 

 type is Cecidomyia lobata Felt. 



The type species was captured on white clover and possibly lives 

 upon fungus, since H. fungicola Felt was reared from a 

 fungus on nectarine.
