GALLS CAUSED BY THYSANOPTERA 
Dillenia reifferscheidia F.-Vill. Dilleniacez. 
Leaf galls. Causal thrips collected but not identified. 
Leaf margins wholly or partially involute toward nether sur- 
face of leaf; when partially so, the involution usually extends 
from apex, leaving a basal fraction of the leaf unaffected. Mi- 
nute, red, irregular, hard papules more prominent on upper 
surface or at the continuation of the latter in the roll than on 
nether surface. Thrips in different stages found within the 
rolls of younger leaves. 
Average diameter of roll, 8 millimeters.

Bafios, at an altitude of about 43 meters. October, 1917. Type 
gall No. 18158, College of Agriculture collection.

the leaves of various other species of Ficus. See Leeuwen-Reijnvaan, Bei-
