Genus : BHODITES. 

 Hhodites, Htg., Germ. Z^it. i^. 186.

 irregular polythakmous galls are the ordinary monothalamous galls 

 of R. eglanteriae, distorted by Perlclistus caniaae. 



Ohs. — I have caught several species of Andricus and Synergus, which I 

 am unable t) identify, and their determination must remain undecided 

 at present. Also, I have found the acorns distorted in several 

 localities by Synergi, indicating either the presence of some unknown 

 gall-making specie?, or that the Synergi oviposit in the acorns without 

 the way having been prepared for them by some gall-raiser.
