The genus Hormomyia, as originally proposed, was unfortunate 

 in that its author attempted to include thereunder two very distinct 

 forms, namely, a true Hormomyia represented byH. fasciata 

 H. Loew not Meigen, now referred toH. dubitata Rubs., 

 and a species closely allied to Phytophaga, namely, M i k i o 1 a 

 f a g i Hart. These very diverse forms were evidently associated 

 because of apparent similarities, particularly as Kieffer has subse- 

 quently made f a g i the type of a new genus. We are constrained, 

 after an examination of the literature, to hold Cecidomyia 

 crassipes H. Lw. to be the type of this genus. 



Apparently ignoring characters given by Loew, Rondani attempted 

 to limit the conception of Hormomyia to species having an equal 

 number of antennal segments in both sexes and named as a type of 

 this genus, H. cucullata Meig., a species apparently unknown
