Holotype m. , North Carolina, Swain 
Co., Great Smoky Mountains National 
Park, Clingman's Dome, 6,600 ft, 
22. VIII. 57 (J. G. Chillcott ) ; para- 
types 3 f . , same data; 4 f., 6,300 
ft, 28.V.57 (J. R. Vockeroth); Indian 
Gap, 5,200 ft, 2 f., 20.V.57 (J. R. 
Vockeroth); Devil's Court House, Blue 
Ridge Parkway, 1 f., 2. VIII. 57 (W. R. 
Richards); Mitchell Co., Roan 
Mountain, 6,200 ft, 1 m., 2 f., 
13. VIII. 57 (J. G. Chillcott). 
Holotype and paratypes in CNC, 4 
paratypes in AC. 
Remarks. This species belongs to a 
difficult group, but the male 
genitalia confirm that it is distinct, 
although its exact relationship is 
uncertain. 
Liriomyza texella Spencer, new species 
(Figs. 815, 816) 
Head. Frons twice width of eye, not 
projecting above eye in profile; 
normally 2 ors (3 on one side), 2 ori, 
orbital setulae sparse, reclinate; 
gena approx. 0.33 height of eye; 3d 
antennal segment small, round. 
Mesonotum. 3+1 strong dc, acr in 4 
rows . 
Wing. Length in male 1.5 mm, discal 
cell very small, last section of vein 
M 3+4 3.5 times length of penultimate. 
Color. Head yellow, hindmargin of eye 
black to vte, vti on yellow; mesonotum 
uniformly matt, grayish black, 
hindcorners with very small yellow 
patches, scutellum largely bright 
yellow, only narrowly black at sides, 
all scutellars on yellow; mesopleuron 
largely yellow, with narrow black bar 
along lower margin which also extends 
along front margin; legs with femora 
brighter yellow, tibiae and tarsi 
brownish yellow on forelegs, more 
blackish on other legs; squama yellow 
gray, margin and fringe dark. 
Male genitalia. Aedeagus as in 
figures 815, 816; sperm pump with 
short stalk, conspicuously widening 
blade, and strongly developed base. 
Host/early stages. Unknown. 
Holotype m. , Texas, Kerr Co., 
Kerrville , 3. IV. 59 (J. F. McAlpine), 
in CNC. 
Remarks. Although L. texella closely 
resembles L,. venturensis from 
California, the male genitalia 
indicate that the two species are 
obviously not closely related. 
Liriomyza togata (Me lander) 
(Figs. 831, 832) 
Antineura togata Melander, 1913: 250. 
Lectotype male from Washington in 
USNM. 
Haplomyza togata , Hendel, 1914: 73; 
Frick, 1957b: 204 (lectotype designa- 
tion); 1959: 413. 
Liriomyza togata , Steyskal, 1980: 141. 
Liriomyza douglasii Spencer, 1981: 
228. NEW SYNONYM. 
Hendel transferred this species to 
Haplomyza in view of the absence of 
the outer crossvein, one of the 
characters subsequently used by Frick
