REPORT. OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST I907 389 



ccc Abdomen pale yellowish ; 5th antennal segment having the 

 basal portion of the stem with a length equal to its diameter, 

 the distal part with a length ^ its diameter, the distal enlarge- 

 ment oval with a length ^ greater than its diameter; cir- 

 cumfili very faint, probably 3 ; dorsal plate deeply and narrowly 

 emarginate; bred from a subglobular, densely haired hickory 

 leaf gall (Cecidomyia) holotricha O. S., C. iiii 



DENTIFIBTJLA n. g. 



This group comprises a number of forms easily separated 

 from the more typical species referred to Contarinia, by the 

 conspicuous, triangular apical process on the basal clasp seg- 

 ment, the terminal clasp segment is therefore subapical. All of 

 the species are small pale yellowish forms. The wing is represented 

 on plate 38, figure i. 



Key to species 

 a Distal portion of the stem of the 5th antennal segment rather short, with 

 a length about 4 times its diameter ; the 5th tarsal segment on the 

 anterior legs longer than the 4th 

 h Entire insect yellowish with the exception of a dark spot on the 

 dorsal part of the abdomen ; wing hairs curved ; antennal setae 

 rather fine, circumfili long. Taken on hickory, .c a r y a e Felt, 332b 

 hh Mesonotum yellowish brown, the remainder of the insect light yel- 

 lowish ; wing hairs nearly straight ; antennal setae coarse ; cir- 

 cumfili rather short. Bred from Aspidiotus uvae 



cocci n. sp., C. 1018 

 aa Distal portion of antennal stem of the 5th segment long, with a length 

 about 5 times the diameter ; 5th tarsal segment of anterior legs as 

 long as the 4th 



b Entire insect a pale yellowish orange. Taken on Viburnum

LOBOPTEROMYIA H. g. 



This genus comprises a number of very distinct forms easily 

 separable from Contarinia, to which they are closely related, by 

 the broad wings. These organs have a conspicuous, broadly 

 rounded extension posteriorly, making the width about ^ the 

 length [pi. 38, fig. 3, 4]. The antennae are also peculiar in that 

 the basal portion of the stem on the flagellate segments rarely has 

 a length equal to its diameter. The enlargements are relatively 

 large, subglobose, and the circumfili rather short, stout and uniform.
