Mesonotum length 2.0–4.0 mm. Wing length 5.0–10.0 mm, width 1.6–3.7 mm, ratio 2.63–3.17. Mostly brown. Setae usually yellow (mostly brown in 2 males), short, acuminate. Setulae yellowish. Head ( Figs. 11–12): Broad. Mostly microtrichose; anterior margin of parafacial, large anteroventral area on gena, and broad, bell-shaped ventral area on face shiny, nonmicrotrichose. Frons more than 2 times as broad as width of eye, with 4–9 frontal setae surrounded by numerous setulae, and 2 orbital setae, posterior seta often lateroclinate. Ocellar seta 2–3 times as long as ocellar tubercle. Postocellar seta usually well developed (absent in 1 male), 2/3 as long as to subequal to medial vertical seta, always yellow. Medial and lateral vertical setae subequal, 1/3–2/5 height of face. Lunule large and setulose ( Fig. 11), half as long as wide. Eye relatively small, genal height more than half (0.52–0.71) long diameter of eye ( Fig. 12). Antennae widely separated by 1.3–2 times width of scape, short, first flagellomere ca. 1.67 times as long as wide, no longer than pedicel, occasionally ( 2 specimens) with several dorsal setulae; arista minutely and sparsely pubescent (appearing bare except at high magnification). Proboscis large, capitate; palpus very broad, 3/5–2/3 as wide as long, oval. Thorax ( Fig. 13): Microtrichose except extreme anteromedial margin of scutum and large ventral area on mediotergite. Scutum usually mostly dark red brown, with blackish broad medial vitta and less well defined pre- and postsutural sublateral areas, sometimes more extensively blackish; setulae yellowish, less dense on blackish areas. Scutellum short, high and convex, red brown to dark brown, without distinct yellow markings; setulose. Legs: Stout, especially male fore femur, on which row of ventral setae stout and spinelike ( Fig. 14). Coxae and femora dark brown. Tibiae moderate to dark brown. Basal 2–3 tarsomeres yellow, distal tarsomeres brownish. Wing ( Fig. 33): Elongate and relatively narrow. Pterostigma short and narrow, 1/5–1/4 length of cell c. Vein R 4+5dorsally intermittently setulose to or beyond level of crossvein dm-cu. Lobe of cell bcu ca. half as long as width of cell. Crossvein r-m at 0.67–0.75 distance from bm-cu to dm-cu. Pattern predominantly brown, usually more orange in radial cells except br and proximal 2/3 of r 4+5, cell bcu and sometimes other basal cells, alula, and part of area bordering vein A 1+Cu 2. Cell r 1with 1 narrow to broad triangular marginal hyaline area aligned with or slightly distal to crossvein r-m, extending to vein R 4+5; r-m usually with narrow hyaline or yellow border. Cell c with small, sometimes diffuse, yellowish or hyaline spot or streak in basal third. Cells r 1, r 2+3, and r 4+5with narrow oblique hyaline streak or series of spots subapically, often irregular in shape. Cell m medially with irregular, usually somewhat inverted V-shaped or triangular, hyaline mark or series of spots, extending anteriorly into cell r 4+5or rarely with aligned spot in r 4+5, aligned slightly posterobasal to oblique mark in radial cells. Cell bm with narrow hyaline streak along transverse fold. Cell cu 1with narrow, elongate hyaline streak in basal 2/3 of cell, often broader distally and/or fading to pale brown posteriorly. Cell dm posteromedially and distal third of cell cu 1with narrow curved hyaline streak or series of spots. Abdomen: Entirely brown. Tergites entirely microtrichose. Male terminalia: Surstyli short, together with epandrium nearly oval ( Fig. 18). Glans ( Figs. 19–20) with sclerotized basal half stout and distal half slender, membranous; acrophallus relatively stout and strongly laterally curved. Female terminalia: Oviscape 1.2–1.9 mmlong, 0.55–0.59 times as long as mesonotum. Setulae on medial half to 3/4 inclinate. Aculeus ( Figs. 16–17) elongate, slender, 1.70–2.25 mmlong, 6.5–7.5 times as long as wide, gradually tapering to needlelike apex. Spermathecae small, ovoid.   Biology.  Agallamyia pendulaforms a large spherical stem gall up to 2.5 cmin diameter on  Perymenium ghiesbreghtiiB.L. Rob. & Greenm.( Figs. 21–25) and  P. grandeHemsl.( Figs. 26–29) ( Asteraceae: Heliantheae). The gall is unusual in being mostly hollow, with the single puparium sometimes loose inside. The larva anchors its posterior end in a frass mass in the top of the gall and feeds on the sides of the gall while hanging downward ( Figs. 25, 28–29). The exit hole for the adult is in the middle of the frass mass.   Distribution.Known only from highland areas (> 1700 melevation) of Guatemala( Baja Verapaz, Huehuetenango, Sacatepéquez, Zacapa; Santa Rosa?).   Type data.  Holotype ♀( USNM USNMENT00212040), GUATEMALA: Huehuetenango: 8.6 km(air) NW of Cuilco, 15.44475°N 92.03582°W,  2108 m, emerged  18 Dec 2007–  2 Jan 2008reared ex stem gall on  Perymenium grandecollected  24 Nov 2007, B.D.
