This species was reared July 12, 1907 from a loose bud gall of 

 Anemone canadense taken at Kinderhook and Nassau, 

 N. Y. 



Gall. Numerous pale orange larvae were found in the unfolding 

 leaves inclosing an apparently normal though slightly enlarged bud. 



Larva. The larva is 3 mm long, pale orange. 



Male. Length 1.25 mm. Antennae about as long as the body, 

 sparsely haired, reddish brown; 15 segments, the fifth with a stem 

 about three-fourths the length of the basal enlargement, which 

 latter has a length about one-half greater than its diameter ; terminal 

 segment reduced, narrowly oval. Palpi ; the first segment short, 

 stout, subquadrate, the second one-half longer, narrowly oval, the 

 third one-half longer than the second, slender, the fourth one-half 

 longer than the third, more slender. Head reddish yellow. Mesono- 

 tum dark brown, the narrow submedian lines yellowish. Abdomen 

 dark brown, the incisures and pleurae yellowish, the venter reddish 

 orange. Wings hyaline, costa dark brown. Halteres pale yellowish, 

 femora pale yellowish basally, darker apically, the tibiae and tarsi 

 dark brown, the latter almost black in some specimens ; claws long, 

 stout, strongly curved, the pulvilli as long as the claws. Genitalia ; 

 basal clasp segment long, stout ; terminal clasp segment short, stout, 

 the basal two-thirds swollen; dorsal plate long, broad, deeply and 

 triangularly incised; ventral plate long, narrow, deeply and broadly 

 emarginate. Harpes long, slender, irregular. 



Female. Length 1.25 mm. Antennae extending to the second 

 abdominal segment, sparsely haired, reddish brown; 14 segments, 

 the fifth with a very short stem, the basal enlargement with a length 

 about twice its diameter, a rather distinct constriction near the 

 basal third; terminal segment greatly produced, with a distinct con- 

 striction near the distal third. Color characters about as in the 

 male, except that the mesonotum is not so dark and the dorsal 

 surface of the abdomen is more heavily clothed with darker hairs. 

 Ovipositor a little longer than the body, very slender, the terminal 

 lobes slightly constricted at the base, narrowly rounded. Other 

 structural characters practically as in the opposite sex. Type 

 Cecid. ai522.
