This species was captured sweeping grass, sedge or Solidago at 

 Newport, N. Y., July 25, 1906. It was also reared August 6, 1906, 

 from a jar containing whorled loosestrife, Lysimachia 

 quadrifolia, the latter probably an accidental occurrence. 



Male. Length .75 mm. Antennae nearly as long as the body, 

 thickly haired, dark brown; 16 segments, the fifth with a stem as 

 long as the cylindric basal enlargement ; terminal segment produced, 

 constricted at the basal and apical thirds, an apical knob. Palpi ; 

 the first segment short, quadrate, the second broadly oval, the third 

 a little longer, subrectangular, the fourth one-fourth longer and 

 more slender, the fifth one-half longer than the fourth, more 

 slender. Mesonotum dark brown. Scutellum dark carmine, post- 

 scutellum lighter. Abdomen fuscous yellowish, distal segments 

 somewhat darker. Wings hyaline, costa dark brown. Halteres 

 pale yellowish. Legs pale fuscous yellowish, tarsi dark brown ; 

 claws simple. Genitalia ; basal clasp segment short, broad, with a 

 rather conspicuous rounded setaceous lobe basally ; dorsal plate 

 narrowly rounded ; ventral plate broad, deeply and narrowly emarg- 

 inate, the lobes narrowly rounded. Harpes tapering, curving, sub- 

 acute ; style long, slender, acute. Type Cecid. 700.
