Schizomyia viburni Felt 

 1908 Felt, E. P. N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 124:378 



This female was taken June 20, 1907 at Old Forge, N. Y., appar- 

 ently as she was about to oviposit in Viburnum, blossoms. It is 

 possible that later rearings may prove this to be the other sex of 

 S. altifila. < 



Female. Length 1.5 mm. Antennae nearly as long as the body, 

 sparsely haired, dark brown; 14 segments, the third with a length 

 fully four times its diameter. Palpi; the first segment short, stout, 

 subquadrate, the second more slender, about one-half longer, the 

 third a little longer and more slender than the second, the fourth 

 one-half longer than the third. Mesonotum dark brown, the sub- 

 median lines sparsely clothed with fine hairs. Scutellum yellowish 

 brown with numerous light setae apically, postscutellum a little 

 darker. Abdomen dark brown, the segments rather thickly margined 

 posteriorly with coarse setae; venter lighter. Wings hyaline, costa 

 light brown; halteres pale yellowish. Coxae and base of femora 

 fuscous yellowish, distal portion of femora, tibiae and tarsi a nearly 

 uniform dark brown; claws long, slender, strongly curved, the pul- 

 villi shorter than the claws. Ovipositor probably nearly as long as 

 the body. Type Cecid. 1212. 



Schizomyia caryaecola Felt 

 1908 Felt, E. P. N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 124:378 



The one female was reared June 1, 1908 from a jar containing 

 a long, conic leaf gall on Bitternut or swamp hickory, C a r y a 

 cordiformis and undoubtedly produced by Caryomyia 

 caryaecola O. S. It is probable that the occurrence of the 

 midge in this jar was accidental.
