Egg. Subspherical, much flattened on the basal side, coarsely 

 and evidently reticulated even under the lens. Under a half inch 

 objective it appears covered with broad, rounded reticulations, 

 which leave between them large, shallow, roundedly hexagonal 

 depressions. Color dark, shining, lead color, with a slight me- 

 tallic green cast. Diameter 0.6 mm. Laid loose and separate. 



First larval stage. Head cordate, black, shining; width about 

 .3 mm. Body deeply incised between the segments, cylindrical, 

 feet normal; warts inconspicuous, hairs distinct, blackish. The 

 body is orange color, with a dark band from near the head to 

 back of the middle, showing by transparency, but later becoming 

 an evident, geminate, brownish dorsal band. The warts are low 

 and conical, concolorous, normal in arrangement, each bearing 

 a single hair. The hairs are minutely spinulated. 



COLORADO CYNIPID/E. 



C. P. GILLETTE, Fort Collins, Col. 



All of the Cynipidous galls or gall-flies mentioned in this paper 

 have been taken by the writer in the State of Colorado since the 

 first of January, 1891. Quite a number of galls, apparently new, 

 have been taken from scrub oaks (Quercus undulafa), from which 

 no flies have yet appeared. Of these I shall make no special 

 mention until the flies can be obtained, as there is little use in 

 describing the galls alone, and I do not think it right to name 

 galls as if they were insects. 



RHODITES. 



Bicolor. Galls moderately common in the foot-hills near Fort 

 Collins and also taken at Manitou. 



Fusiformans Ashm. This is a very abundant gall on r< 

 bushes in the foot-hills of the State from north to south. 



I^nota O. S. Galls taken in foot-hills near Fort Collins. 

 Rather scarce. 



Polita Ashm. Galls found very common on rose bushes at 

 Manitou, Col., on Sept. 10, 1892.
