REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST [Qj6 235 



Fem&le. Length i mm. Antennae dark brown; 10 segments, 



the fifth with a length one-third greater than its diameter; terminal 

 segment short, broadly rounded distally. Palpi; the first segment 

 rather long, irregular, the second a little shorter, the third nearly 

 twice the length of the preceding, more slender, the fourth a little 

 longer and more slender than the third. Mesonotum dark brown, 

 submedian lines yellowish, thickly clothed with fuscous yellowish 

 hairs. Seutellum dark brown, postscutellum brown. Abdomen 

 dark brown basally, with the second to fifth segments reddish brown, 

 terminal segments yellowish. Wings hyaline, costa dark brown, 

 discal spot whitish, the third vein uniting with costa at the basal 

 half, the fifth vein forking near the middle, unites with the posterior 

 margin at the distal third, its branch at the basal third. Halteres 

 reddish yellow. Legs a nearly uniform dark brown, lighter ventrally ; 

 claws rather stout, strongly curved. Ovipositor probably nearly as 

 long as the body, the terminal lobe long, broad, narrowly rounded,

This European species was reared during August 1907 in consider- 

 able numbers from the florets of yarrow, Achillea mille- 

 folium, taken in the vicinity of Albany. Our provisional 

 determination of this form has been confirmed by the distinguished 

 European specialist on this group, L'abbe Kieffer. This species 

 has presumably become well established in this country and it is 

 rather surprising that its presence has not been detected earlier. 

 The wing of the female is shown on plate 6, figure 8. 



Larva. Length 1 mm, yellowish, rather stout, the segmentation 

 rather distinct; head small, with a diameter about one-fourth that 

 of the body, tapering to a broadly rounded apex. The one antennal 

 segment is cylindric, with a length about four times its diameter. 

 Breastbone apparently wanting, skin smooth, the posterior extremity 

 broadly rounded, smooth; anus slitlike. 



The above described specimen is probably partly grown.
