Extract

During the past winter Dr. L. O. Howard received specimens of a Cecidomyiid from Sir Daniel Morris, Director of the Imperial Department of Agriculture for the West Indies, with the statement that the larvæ live in the cambium layer of cotton plants. Up to the present time no representative of this family has been recorded as depredating upon cotton so far as I am awar, and at the request of Sir D. Morris the species is duly characterized herewith:

Porricondyla (Epidosis) gossypii, new species.
