80 JAMES E, COLLIN—A NEW FLY OF THE GENUS AGROMYZA, &C. 
Q. Difficult to distinguish from the male, the ovipositor being withdrawn within 
the last abdominal segment, and the tubular basal part very short. 
Length 21—2} mm. 
The species of Agromyza are very difficult to name because very few have 
been described with sufficient accuracy, but there does not appear to be any species 
known with the characters given above ; the extreme shortness of the tubular 
ovipositor, usually so conspicuous in the females of Agromyza, is somewhat 
remarkable. 
A, salicifolit was bred by Mr. F. C. Willcocks, Entomologist to the Khedivial 
Agricultural Society, from mines in willow leaves found at Gizeh, Lower Egypt, 
in April, 1910.
