PROTAPLONYX Felt 



1916 Felt, E. P. Ent. News, 27:202 



The genus has the typical Lasioptera wing, the normal, short 

 mouth-parts, 12 or 13 antennal segments, the third and fourth not 

 coalescing or at least separated by a distinct constriction; quadri- 

 articulate palpi, heavy simple claws and an aciculate ovipositor. 

 Type P. h a g a n i Felt. 



Protaplonyx hagani Felt 



1 91 6 Felt, E. P. Ent. News, 27:202

 from small, folded swollen leaflets of greasewood, Sarcobatus 

 vermiculatus, by Mr Harold R. Hagan of the Agricultural 

 Experiment Station, Logan, Utah, from material collected October 

 25, 191 5 at Wellington, a locality near Price, Utah.

This genus is easily differentiated from other gall midges by the 

 Lasioptera-like wings, antennae and male genitalia, the biarticulate 

 palpi, the simple claws and the cultrate ovipostor. It is allied to 

 Stefaniella KiefL, an anomalous genus in which the claws may be 

 either simple or toothed, and may be readily separated from Bal- 

 dratia Kieff . by the mouth-parts not being produced and the simple 

 claws. Type A. chenopodii Perez.

 Prof. Ellsworth Bethel of Denver.
