 base of the abdomen, sparsely haired, reddish brown; 12 segments, 

 the fifth obpyriform, with a length one-half greater than its diam- 

 eter; terminal segment produced, slightly constricted near the distal 

 third at the chitinous collar. Palpi ; the first segment short, stout, 

 irregularly ovoid, the second stout, with a length about one-half 

 greater than its diameter, the third about one-half longer than the 

 second, more slender, the fourth about twice as long as the third, 

 greatly dilated. Mesonotum rather dark reddish brown. Scutellum 

 and postscutellum lighter. Abdomen brownish yellow. Wings long, 

 narrow, hyaline, costa a light brown, subcosta uniting with the 

 anterior margin near the basal half. Legs a variable light yellowish ; 

 claws long, slender, strongly curved, with 4 or 5 long denticulations ; 

 pulvilli as long as the claws. Ovipositor short, the terminal lobes 

 triarticulate, the third segment broadly oval. Type Cecid. 883. 



Prionellus monilis n. sp. 

 This species was reared in November 1907 by Mr E. S. Tucker 

 from a cage sown with oats. 



Female. Length 1 mm. Antennae extending to the third abdo- 

 minal segment, thickly haired, dark brown; 12 segments, the fifth 

 with a length one-third greater than its diameter ; terminal segment 

 greatly produced, constricted and evidently composed of two closely 

 fused. Palpi ; first segment stout, broadly oval, the second narrowly 

 oval, the third a little longer, more slender, the fourth one-half 

 longer than the third. Mesonotum dark brown, the submedian lines 

 sparsely haired. Scutellum and postscutellum brown. Abdomen 

 dark brown, the basal segments yellowish brown. Wings hyaline, 

 costa light brown, subcosta joining the margin at the basal half, the 

 third vein near the apex. Halteres yellowish transparent. Legs a 

 variable fuscous yellowish, the distal tarsal segments brownish ; 

 claws strongly curved, denticulate, the pulvilli longer than the claws.

This species was taken June 26, presumably 1903, by Mr R. P. 

 Currie at Kaslo, B. C. 



Female. Length 1 mm. Antennae hardly extending to the base 

 of the abdomen, thickly haired, yellowish brown; 12 segments, the 

 fifth subsessile, subcylindric, with a length about one-third greater 

 than its diameter ; terminal segment somewhat produced and taper- 

 ing to a rounded apex. Palpi ; the first segment greatly expanded dis- 

 tally, pyriform, the second a little longer, slender, narrowly rounded 

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