ART. 10 GALL-INHABITING CYNIPID WASPS WELD 75 



adults emer<rin<2: May 10. Flies were emer.<ji;in<2: at Lakeport ^Nfa^' 27. 

 Three paratypes are from galls on Q. doiiglasii: two from galls 

 collected at Paraiso Springs INIay 9, 1918, date of emergence not 

 recorded, and one from Paso Robles, the fly emerging May 23, 191S. 

 One paratype is from a gall on Q. Jolxita collected on May 20, 1922, 

 the fly out and dead before May 27. The galls were seen on Q. 

 durata also. In addition to the localities given above, the galls were 

 also seen at Boulevard, in Santa Ana Mountains, on Santa Catalina 

 Island, Camp Baldy, Bagby, Newhall, Santa Margarita, Jolon, Los 

 Gatos. St. Helena, Calistoga, Ukiah. Bartlett Springs, Oroville, Red

ANDRICUS FLOCCI (Walsh) 



Galls were collected on Quercus alha at Evanston, Glencoe, Glen 

 Ellyn, New Lenox, and Moline. 111.; Porter. Ind. ; Ironton and 

 Poplar Bluff. Mo.; Texarkana, Ark.; Marianna, Fla. ; and Blue- 

 mont. Va. Crosby collected them at Riverhead and Zabriskie at 

 Xyack. N. Y. Brodie had galls sent to him from Manitoba from 

 which flies emerged at Toronto May 20. 



From galls collected at Ironton in October. 1917, adults emerged 

 May 16-28, 1918. The forCvSt-insect collection has flies that emerged 

 April 22, 24, 30. and May 2 and 5, 1915. from galls collected at 

 Lyme. Conn., by A. B. Champlain and flies that emerged April 

 !•!— 16, 1915, from galls from Harrisburg, Pa. On April 15 William 

 ^Nliddleton liberated some of the latter in a cage on a Avhite oak tree 

 and observed oviposition in one of the subapical buds. From the 

 resulting gall he reared adults of both sexes on June 19 — a suggestion 

 for further experimentation. 



ANDRICUS FOLIATUS (Ashmead) 



This species was described from '' Florida.'' Its galls occur on 

 Q. getninata as well as on virginiana. Galls have been collected at 

 Atlanta (E. A. Schwarz) and Savannah, Ga. ; Jacksonville, Green 

 Cove Springs, Crescent City, Daytona, Miami, Paradise Key (Hop- 

 pins I^. S. No. 15580), Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Ocala, Gaines-

 Kerrville, and Sabinal, Tex. 



The galls may be found in various stages of growth in CJctobcr, 

 the galls and bracts being then green. Later in fall they turn 

 brown. A gall collected at Paradise Key gave an adult February 

 26. Galls at Jacksonville contained adults readv to emerge on 

 April 4, 1914.
