REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1907 A4IlI 
ventral plate appears to be widely separated, the two lobes being 
short, stout and roundly triangular [pl. 42, fig. 2]. The male is 3 
mm long, the flagellate antennal segments are strongly trinodose, 
while the claws are simpie and the third vein unites with the margin 
well beyond the apex. 
Type and sole species Cecidomyia orbiculata Felt. 
CLINODIPLOsSIS Kieff. 
Members of this genus are small, yellowish species which may be 
recognized by the simple claws, the quadriarticulate palpi, the lack 
of a conspicuous lobe or spine on the basal clasp segment and by 
the long, linear, narrowly rounded, ventral plate [pl. 42, fig. 1]. 
The species probably breed mostly in leaf galls, though C. cattle - 
y ae was reared from the roots of Cattleya gigas.
