 apically. Palpi ; the first segment short, stout, irregularly oval, the 

 second a little longer, much more slender, the third longer and 

 slightly stouter than the second, the fourth one-half longer and 

 more slender than the third ; face light fuscous yellowish. Meso- 

 notum a fuscous yellowish. Scutellum a little lighter, postscutellum 

 fuscous yellowish. Abdomen a light fuscous yellowish. Wings 

 hyaline, costa pale straw, subcosta uniting with the margin near 

 the basal half. Halteres yellowish transparent. Legs pale yellow-

The male and female of this species were taken on a small pine, 

 probably Pinus rigid a, at Karner, N. Y., April 27, 1907. 

 They were observed pairing, consequently there can hardly be any 

 question as to their belonging to the same species. 



Male. Length 1 mm. Antennae nearly as long as the body, 

 thickly haired, dark brown; 14 segments, the fifth with a stem two- 

 thirds the length of the subcylindric basal enlargement ; terminal 

 segment narrowly oval, subacute distally. Palpi; the first segment 

 broadly oval, with a rather conspicuous sense organ internally, the 

 second a little longer, narrow, subquadrate, the third a little shorter, 

 more slender than the second, the fourth about twice the length of 

 the preceding, more slender ; face fuscous, eyes large, black. 

 Mesonomm shining black, sparsely and irregularly clothed with 

 short, yellowish hairs. Scutellum a dark reddish brown, post- 

 scutellum and abdomen nearly shining black, sparsely clothed with 

 fine, yellowish hairs. Wings hyaline, costa reddish brown, sub- 

 costa uniting with the margin at the middle. Halteres nearly 

 uniform fuscous yellowish. Legs fuscous yellowish, the incisures 

 variably tinged with deep red, the distal tarsal segment reddish 

 brown ; claws long, strongly curved, denticulate, the pulvilli longer 

 than the claws. Genitalia; basal clasp segment long, stout, taper- 

 ing; terminal clasp segment rather long, almost pediceled, broadly 

 rounded and with an enlargement near the distal third ; dorsal 

 plate broad, tapering, broadly rounded. Harpes short, stout, ap- 

 proximate, with an acute, chitinous spine posteriorly and a semi- 

 circular, dark, chitinous thickening dorsally. 



Female. Length 2.5 mm. Antennae extending to the base of 

 the abdomen, thickly haired, dark reddish brown; 13 segments, 

 the fifth subsessile; terminal segment prolonged, subcylindric, tap- 

 ering to an obtuse apex. Palpi ; the first segment stout, broadly 

 rectangular with a conspicuous sense organ internally, second a 

 little longer, more slender, the third as long as the second, more
