Mycodiplosis Carolina Felt 



191 1 Felt, E. P. Econom. Ent. Jour., 4:549 



The small, pale yellowish fly was reared August 8, 1895 by Mr 

 Pergande from leaves of L > i 1 i u m superbum received at the 

 Bureau of Entomology from H. T. Kelsey, Kawani, N. C. This 

 species appears to be closely related to M . robusta Felt. 



Eggs. Length 4 mm, narrowly oval, whitish with microscopic 

 reticulations. 



Larva. The whitish or rose-colored larva, mounted as belonging 

 to this species, has a length of 1 mm, is rather stout, the segments 

 distinct, the head is withdrawn in the specimen and there is no 

 evidence of a breastbone; skin coarsely shagreened; each segment 

 bears laterally, near its posterior third, a large seta, that on the last 

 segment perceptibly larger; posterior extremity subtruncate, slightly 

 bilobed with rather large tubercles at the lateral posterior angles 

 and smaller, conical tubercles mesially.
