REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1917 99 
Contarinia lycopersici Felt 
19g1l Felt, E.P. Ent. News, 22:303-4 
This species was reared by William H. Patterson of the Agricul- 
tural School, St Vincent, W. I., from flowers of tomatoes, 
Lycopersicum esculentum, and appears to be closely 
allied to C. solani Rtbs. A type of the female of the latter 
species was kindly placed at our disposal by Professor Ruibsaamen. 
A comparison of the two shows the St Vincent form to have dis- 
tinctly shorter and stouter antennal segments.
