Subfamily CYNIPINAE 



In this subfamily all species are gall-makers. The species of the first few genera, Gonaspis 

 through Diplolepis, produce galls on plants other than Quercus. From the genus Neuroterus to 

 the end of the subfamily all but two of the species produce galls only on Quercus. The two ex- 

 ceptions are Andricus mendocinensis Weld, which is a gall-maker on the tanbark oak, Lithocar- 

 pus densiflorus, and Dryocosmus castanopsidis (Beutenmueller), which produces galls on 

 Castauopsis citrysophylla and C. semperviren.'i. Lithocarpus and Ca.^tanopsis have by some 

 Botanists been considered to be synonyms of Quercus. The prevalent current opinion is that 

 those two genera are very closely related to Quercus, but are distinct. 



The subfamily Cynipinae is limited here as it was by Ashmead, 1903. (Psyche 10: 145). This
