The midge was reared September 11, rorr from an apical budlike 
deformity on Pinus scopulorum collected the preceding 
July by Prof. C. P. Gillette of Fort Collins, Col. Similar galls were 
also taken by Prof. E. Bethel of Denver. This species is doubtfully 
referred to Dicrodiplosis and appears to be closely allied to D. 
rubida Felt, being most easily distinguished by the color of the 
abdomen and the short, stout apical process of the terminal antennal 
segment. 
Gall. Diameter 1 cm, length 1.25 cm. This is a budlike deformity 
covered with brownish scales and, in one instance, with rudimentary 
needles arising from the sides.

The female described below was found in the collections of the 
United States National Museum, labeled Dj plosis corer 
darum, Mayaguez, Porto Rico, January 1889, August Busck. 
It was presumably reared from a scale insect and is with little ques- 
tion one of the species referred by Coquillett’ to Daipitasas 
Soccidarum Ckil.
