 longer, narrowly oval, the third as long as the second, more slender, 

 the fourth one-half longer and more slender than the third. Face

 the submedian lines indistinct. Scutellum and postscutellum 

 reddish. Abdomen reddish. Halteres and coxae pale reddish; 

 femora yellowish at the base, brownish apically; tibiae and tarsi 

 brownish. Ovipositor longer than the body, basally with halberd- 

 shaped spines and recurved hooks; the terminal lobes long, slender, 

 tapering, narrowly rounded. Type Cecid. a 1689.

This genus was erected for a very well-marked type which may 

 be recognized by the broadly oval wings having the third vein 

 strongly arched, rather well separated from costa and uniting there- 

 with near the distal third (pi. 6, fig. 5). The antennae are 

 sessile in both sexes, the segments ranging in number from 14 to 22. 

 The individual segments are longer than in Lasioptera and its close 

 allies and do not have the thick, heavy circumfili usually observed 

 in this tribe. Furthermore, the whorl of minute hairs is more 

 marked in Camptoneuromyia than in allied genera. The male 

 genitalia have somewhat the same structure as obtains in Dasyneura, 

 the ovipositor of the female is rather short and thick. The vestiture 

 of the anterior wing veins is not so heavy as in Lasioptera, though 

 approaching that type. The legs are usually very thickly covered 

 with scales, and in some species this clothing is so abundant as to 

 practically obscure the basal tooth on the unidentate claws. Type 

 Dasyneura virginica Felt. 



Several species have been reared. The best known form is C. 

 a d h e s a Felt. It breeds mostly in an oval adherent gall between 

 apposed Solidago leaves. Another species, C. rubifolia Felt, 

 has been reared from a marginal leaf roll on high blackberry. A 

 West Indian form, C. meridionalis Felt J was reared from 

 Ipomoea, probably the deformed flower buds infested by S c h i z - 

 omyia ipomoeae Felt.
