 Muench., near Raleigh, North Carolina, by the senior author who was impressed 

 by its unique characters. The specimens were brought into the laboratory and 

 the adults reared. These adults may not belong to the genus Andricus but await- 

 ing a thorough revision of the Cynipid genera they may be placed there provision- 

 ally.  ' 



The gall is very different from any other North American cynipid cecid- 

 ium in the possession of the curious peltate bract-like appendages, which are 

 borne on and constitute a part of the gall proper; in the usual situation with 

 bracted galls the bracts are borne beneath the larval cell or cells, representing 

 aborted leaves. The adult insects emerged about June 1st. 



Andricus peltatus, n. sp. 



Female. — Black, with legs and antennae testaceous yellow. Head: black, 

 mouth parts testaceous yellow, surface uniformly but finely punctate and sparsely 

 covered with rather long whitish pubescence; cheeks rather narrow, but more 

 than one-fourth of the length of the long diameter of the eye. Antennae four-
