Cynipidae. ^ 



Dryophanta scutellaris, 01. Common near Tarbert, Loch 

 Lomond. 



D. longiventris, H. Common in the same place, and at Clober. 



Aijhilotlirix callidoma, H. One gall at Clober. August. 



Cynips marginalis, Schl. Galls agreeing with the descriptions of 

 Von Schlechtendal and Mayr are not uncommon in many places 

 in the West of Scotland. Like Mayr, I could find no radical 

 distinction between these galls and the catkin galls of Andricus 

 ^-lineatus ; and further evidence of the identity of the two forms 

 is found in their having the same inquilines and parasites, and 

 their being found on the same tree, although I have observed the 

 leaf gall on a tree which had no catkins. But it now appears, 

 from the observations of Dr F. Endow (Die Pflanzen gallen ISTord- 

 deutschland's und ihre Erzeuger, p. 35 and p. 59), that the true 

 niargincdis is an Aphilothrix, and not an Andricus. It remains then 

 to be proved whether the leaf galls found in this country pertain 

 to A. J/.-lineatus or to Aph. marginalis, and it is to be hoped that 

 those interested in the subject will endeavour to elucidate this 

 point. Appended is Rudow's description of the gall maker.
