This female was reared July 2, 1907 from a lot of infested Solidago 

 material taken at West Nyack, N. Y., and supposed to contain 

 only galls of Dasyneura adhesa Felt and the adherent 

 type of gall made by >A s p h o n d y 1 i a m o n a c h a O. S. This 

 species was also reared in association with Asphondylia

 segments produced, narrowly rounded. Palpi; first segment sub- 

 rectangular, the second a little longer and stouter, the third a little 

 longer than the second, more slender and the fourth about one- 

 half longer and more slender than the third. Colorational and 

 scale characters very similar to allied forms. Wings hyaline, costa 

 dark brown, the third vein uniting with costa at the distal third. 

 Legs very thickly clothed with stout scales; claws long, stout, evenly 

 curved, the pulvilli shorter than the claws. Ovipositor about as. long 

 as the abdomen, the terminal lobes slender, tapering to an acute, 

 bladelike apex. Type Cecid. ai568y.
