The gall produced by this species on willow is very characteristic, 

 relatively common in New York State at least and appears to be 

 widely distributed, having been received from Aweme, Manitoba, 

 Logan, Utah and St Louis, Mo., not to mention its somewhat gen- 

 eral occurrence in the eastern states. The adults appear in the 

 latitude of Albany during the early part of May. The species 

 winters as reddish larvae in the galls. There is but one generation 

 annually. The reddish brown males may be recognized by the 24 

 antennal segments, the fifth with a stem one-half the length of the 

 basal enlargement. The female has 24-26 sessile segments, the 

 fifth with a length one-half greater than its diameter, The wing is 

 illustrated on plate 17, figure 2-
