REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST I9QI7 105 
Mass., June 2, 1910. Miss Clarke characterized these galls as 
cabbage galls or lettuce galls and so far as we could determine they 
did not differ materially in appearance from a moderately large bud 
gall on this plant such as that made by Clinodiplosis 
clarkei Felt. The adult is described elsewhere, see the above 
citation. 
Gall. Length 7 mm, diameter 3 mm. This deformity appeared 
to be an ordinary bud gall and did not present any specially charac- 
teristic features.

1908 Felt, E.P. N. Y. State Mus. Bul. 124, p. 393 
The midges were taken at Albany, N. Y., being driven from 
shelter by stirring up dead leaves May 25, 1907. 
Male. Length .75 mm. Antennae fully one-half longer than the 
body, thickly haired, light fuscous yellowish; 14 segments, the fifth 
with stems oneand one and one-half times their diameters, respectively ; 
terminal segment, basal portion of the stem with a length one-half 
its diameter, the distal enlargement greatly produced, broadly 
fusiform and apically a short, stout appendage. Palpi; the first 
segment short, stout, expanded distally, the second short, broadly 
oval, the third one-half longer and more slender than the second, 
the fourth one-half longer and more slender than the third; face 
fuscous yellowish. Mesonotum dark brown, submedian lines rather 
thickly clothed with fine hairs. Scutellum dark fuscous yellowish, 
postscutellum a little darker. Abdomen light brown, third and fourth 
segments tinged with dark brown. Wings hyaline, costa light brown, 
halteres yellowish transparent, legs a variable fuscous yellow, 
extremities of the femora slightly fuscous, the tarsi variably tinged 
with carmine at the articulations; claws long, slender, evenly curved, 
the pulvilli a little shorter than the claws. Genitalia; dorsal plate 
short, stout, deeply and narrowly emarginate, the lobes roundly 
truncate. Type Cecid. 1202. 
Contarinia clematidis Felt 
1908 Felt, E.P. N. Y. State Mus. Bul. 124, p. 393 
This species was reared August 12, 1907 from an irregular, sub- 
globular gall taken on Virgins bower, C lematis virginiana, 
at Newport, N. Y., July 24, 1907. 
Gall. It is an irregular, subglobular mass about 1 cm in diameter, 
composed of the deformed or enlarged bases of rudimentary leaves. 
The gall is green, slightly hoary, and usually occurs in the axil of a 
leaf. 
Male. Length 1.5 mm. Antennae as long as the body, thickly 
haired, light brown, basally straw colored; 14 segments, the fifth with 
stems one and three times their diameters respectively ; terminal
