 Abdomen sparsely haired, dark brown, the ovipositor pale yellowish; 

 halteres yellowish transparent. Coxae, femora and tibiae mostly 

 light yellowish, the basal tarsal segments fuscous yellowish, becoming 

 darker distally, the apical segments dark brown. Ovipositor about 

 one-half the length of the body, the terminal lobes broad, long, 

 narrowly rounded. Type Cecid. a 1866. 



Camptoneuromyia meridionalis Felt

This West Indian species may be separated from known Ameri- 

 can forms by the reddish brown abdomen and the 19 antennal seg- 

 ments, the fifth having a length about equal to its diameter. It 

 was reared by William H. Patterson, then of the Agricultural 

 School, St Vincent, W. L, from flower buds of Ipomoea infested 

 with Schizomyia ipomoeae Felt. Type Cecid. 1379.

The genus Trotteria comprises a well-defined group, easily recog- 

 nized by the abundant scale covering of the body, the peculiar 

 venation, the relatively large eyes limited to the ventral two-thirds of 

 the head, the greatly produced basal antennal segment and the long, 

 setose spines on the posterior tibiae. Any one of these characters 

 suffices to separate the genus. Type Lasioptera obtusa 

 H. Lw. 



The venation of the wings (pi. 6, fig. 9) is peculiar; costa to the 

 apex of the wing, subcosta and the third vein are heavily scaled, 

 the last being some distance from the nearly straight costa, rather 

 strongly curved and uniting with the anterior margin near the distal 

 third. The occiput is small while the ventral position of the eyes 

 appears to be in some measure correlated with the greatly produced 

 (fig. 52) first antennal segment. This latter has a length two and 

 one-half to about four times its diameter. The flagellate antennal 

 segments are sessile, cylindric and in most species have a length of 

 onlv one-half or three-fourths that of the diameter. There is a rather
