Psyche 
[June 
Ocelli 3, prominent. Maxillary palpi one-segmented, some- 
what paler than rest of mouthparts. 
Thorax dark brown. Wing slightly more than 1 mm. 
long, slender, anal angle greatly reduced. Anterior wing 
veins most evident. Costa extends about 0.5 the distance 
from Rs to Mi + 2 . Humeral crossvein present. Only the 
radius with macrosetae. R 1+2 ends at about 0.375 of length 
of wing. Rs ends before tip of M 3 at about 0.78 the length 
of the wing. Petiole of M indistinct. Petiole of Cu is prac- 
tically absent. In some specimens the anterior branch of Cu 
appears to originate from the petiole of M. Halteres pale 
brown, about 0.25 the length of the wing. Legs dark brown. 
Tibial spurs present, paired on meso- and metathoracic 
legs. Anterior tibia about 0.81 the length of the tarsus. 
The basitarsus is about 0.40 the length of the tibia. Tarsal 
claws simple. Pulvilli and empodium with prominent hairs. 
Abdomen. Brown in color, somewhat paler at tip. Clasper, 
figure 2 , about 0.66 as broad as long has about 6 spines 
on the mesal, apical surface of which the dorsal one is 
most conspicuous. Frey’s key, 1948, would place this 
species near E. abieticola Frey described from N. Esbo. It 
differs in the details of the structure of the hypopygium. 
Described from 7 males from Mt. Higby Reservoir, 
Hartford County, Connecticut, March — July 1951. 
Female. Length 1.5-2 mm. General color brown. 
Head. Dark brown. Antennae 16-segmented, segments not 
attenuated at tip as in males. Antennal hairs somewhat ver- 
ticillate. Antenna about 0.28 the length of the body. 
Compound eyes sparsely hairy. The number of facets is 
reduced. Dorsal bridge present but the number of facets 
not over 8 mainly located in area of bridge anterior to 
ocelli. Ocelli 3, prominent. Mouthparts small, maxillary 
palpi one-segmented with two prominent setae. 
Thorax. Wings and halteres absent. Legs pale brown.
