Hist. Ins., vol. 2, 17G2, p. 30S. (Six species by number, the second is In 



bibliograpliy by reference mentioned by name.) 

 Fourcroy, 17Su, Ent. Paris, p. 391. (Gives names to Geoffroy's six species.) 

 Type. — Cyni2)s rosae Linnaeus. (Designated by Karscli, 18S0.) [Cynips 

 qucrctis-jolii Fabricius, designated by Latreille, ISIO, p. 43G, not origi- 

 nally included.] 



Note. — Karsch, ISSO, Zeit. Gam. Naturh,, p. 2SS, contends that Geoffrey 

 fixed Cynips rosac Linnaeus, as the type of Diplolepis and in his (Karsch's) 

 discussion he indicates tliat he approves of tliis designation. Geoffrey does 

 not, in our opinion, designate the tyiie. We consider that " C'est ce qui 

 nous a port§ il distinguer cet insect et i en former un genre separC' " refers 

 to the cliaracters rather than a species. Tliere is also some slight doubt 

 whether the implied approval by Karsch of the supposed designation of 

 type by Geoffrey can be considered as type designation for Diplolepis. 

 Therefore, inasmuch as there is no other type designation for Diplolepis 

 we chose as the type of this genus Cynips rosac Linnaeus. Tliis designa- 

 tion can also be supported by the fact that rosae is, through the bibliography 

 of species No. 2, the only species in the original description of Diplolepis 

 which is mentioned by name. Westwood (Zool Journ., vol. 55 (1S2S), 

 1829, pp. 9-lG) gives many reasons for suppressing Geoffroy's name, and, 

 as with many authors, even Lnti'eille considers Diplolepis Geoffroy a 

 synonym of Cynips Linnaeus. It is much to be regretted that these authors 

 did not designate types so it would have been possible to follow their con- 

 clusions. We regret very mucli that Karsch's paper makes it impossible for 

 us to agree with the restriction of Diplolepis used by Dalla Torre and 

 Kieffer in Das Tieri-eich. Isogenotypic with Rhodites Hartig.
