Neolasioptera flavoventris Felt 

 1 90S Felt, E. P. N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 124, p. 333 



This form appears to have a marked preference for pine, as three 

 individuals were captured at Karner, N. Y., flying about hard pine, 

 P i n u s r i g i d a, in July 1906. 



Male. Length 1 mm. Antennae dark brown, fuscous yellowish 

 basally; 16 segments, the fifth with a length a little greater than its 

 diameter; terminal segment slightly prolonged, narrowly rounded 

 distally. Palpi; the first segment short, subquadrate, the second 

 about twice as long, a little stouter, the third a little longer, more 

 slender, the fourth one-half longer than the third, more slender. 

 Face fuscous yellowish. Mesonotum dark brown with distinct, 

 narrow submedian lines, thickly ornamented with pale hairs and 

 with a sublateral yellowish patch on the anterior angle. Scutellum 

 dark reddish, postscutellum dark brown. Abdomen reddish brown, 

 sparsely clothed with yellowish setae, vent rally pale yellowish. 

 Wings hyaline, costa light brown, the third vein uniting with costa 

 at the basal half. Halteres yellowish basally, whitish apically. 

 Coxae dark brown, posterior and mid femora and tibiae yellowish 

 brown, annulate with fuscous distally, other portions of legs nearly 

 uniform dark brown; claws rather long, stout, uniformly curved. 

 Genitalia; basal clasp segment long, terminal clasp segment short,

This new genus was erected for certain species previously supposed 

 to be referable to Baldratia Kieff. A study of the types of both 

 Baldratia and Stefaniella show that our American forms can not 

 be referred to either.
