mostly the galls (only stem gall known as hosts to date) of various 

 species of Disholcaspis on different oak species of the Leucobalanus 

 group. A few records from Belonocnetna are at hand. Specimens 

 that I have identified as this species are present as follows : 6 females 

 and 3 males from stem galls of Disholcaspis inavirria (Walsh) on 

 Q. macrocarpa^ Urbana, 111., April 20 to June, 1923, and May 20 to 

 June 18, 1924, and from Catlin, 111., 1 female from the stem gall of 

 D. globulus (Fitch) on swamp chestnut oak {Q,. michauodi)^ reared 

 April 15, 1929; also 4 females and 4 males from Urbana, 111., but 

 from stem gall of D. globulus (Fitch) on Q. alba, May and June, 

 1923; the aforementioned material was reared by myself; 1 of each 

 sex probably reared by Doctor Walsh at Rockford, 111., and 1 

 female labeled " through A. Bolter, 1890." L. H. Weld sent me 4 

 of each sex bearing No. 38 and reared by him from D. mmnma 

 (Walsh) at Evanston, 111., and 4 females from the same host and 

 with the same number reared at Manistee, Mich., June 15, 1907; 7 

 females and 2 males (U.S.N.M. coll.) were originally obtained 

 from the Michigan Agricultural College, some reared June 28 and 29, 

 1887, from " red-oak lesser globular leaf-gall," Ace. Cat. 738, and 

 others with Ace. Cat. Nos. 857 (March 23, 1888) and 900 (May 28, 

 1887) came from the galls of D. maiivina (Walsh) and D. globulus 

 (Fitch), respectively, and one with Ace. Cat. No. 720A (June 23, 

 1887) is from " bastard-oak apple gall," and another bearing data 

 " Mich., 903 " without host records is this species; 2 females (189 '"'^) 

 that issued in April, 1895, 1 labeled " on Holcaspis globulus " 

 were reared by J. G. Barlow at Cadet, Mo., both probably coming 

 from the stem gall of D. globulus (Fitch) ; from the same place and 

 collector, are 3 specimens (389''°^) dated July 26, 1883, with no host 

 records available; 1 female (2610°*), probably this species, was 

 reared on May 4, 1882, from a cynipid oak gall received from H. K. 

 Morrison, Fort Grant, Ariz., on March 23 of the same year ; 1 female 

 from " Fitch's Collection," and 2 of this sex on one point labeled 

 " Westcott " are without question dubia; 4 females and 1 male 

 (165''°-), reared June 28, 1883, from the gall of Belonocnetna 

 fossoria Weld [Dishol^easpis virens (Ashmead)] on Q. virens received 

 from H. G. Hubbard, Crescent City, Fla. ; 2 males on one pin (165) 

 reared on March 13, 1875, from galls of B. fossoria Weld collected 

 by Muhleman from Q. virens (?) on October 31, 1874; 3 males from 

 the same species of gall but on Q. stellaia (obtu^iloba) , the 

 galls collected by Patton at Selma, Ala., in October, 1880, and the 

 insects issuing on December 16 of that year; 1 male (165 ''°) is from 

 Heavue, Tex., another without locality or hosts (165") with label 

 " on oak. Mar. 13, 1875," and a third was from an " undetermined 

 oak gall "; 2 females and 1 male from Texas (Belfrage coll.) ; 10 fe- 

 males and 3 males reared by C. N. Ainslie from the galls of D. munima
