iiiirton. The galls are then brownish and the interior has Ijeconie 

 quite hard. Easily detached. 



Ilahitat. — The writer has collected fresh «^alls at Fairfax, S. C. : 

 East Falls Church, Great Falls, and Rosslyn, Va. ; and at Wash- 

 ington, and reared the adults in each case. Old g:alls were seen at 

 Palestine, Cuero, and Arlin^jton, Tex., still attached to the twigs in 

 the fall. The National Museum has males from galls collected by 

 A. D. Hopkins May 6, 1919, at Kanawah Station, W. Va. The type 

 locality is Kirkwood, Mo, 



ANDRICUS OSTEN SACKENII (Bassett) 



Cralls on Q. coccinea have been collected at Ithaca, East Hampton 

 (C. K. Crosby). Farmingdale (C. R. Crosby), X. Y. : Evanston. 

 Fort Sheridan, and l^a Grange, 111.: and East Falls Church and 

 Rosslyn, Va. In the Chicago area adults emerge July 8-15. 



ANDRICUS PATTERSONAE FuUaway 



The writer has collected the galls of this species on Q. dougJasli 

 at Kaweah, Palo Alto, Calistoga, Oroville, Red Bluff, and Shasta. 

 Calif. Field museum has a gall from Chico. and Cornell has galls 

 from Xapa (J. C. Bradley). Only old and empty galls are found 

 in May. Partly grown fresh ones were seen in August and full- 

 grown ones in September. They should be gathered in late fall for 

 rearing. Bethel collected galls determined by the writer as this 

 species at Oakville, Wash., on Q. garryana. 



ANDRICUS PATTONI (Bassett) 



Galls of this species are common on Que reus stellata and were col- 

 lected at Webster Groves, Ironton and Poplar Bluff, Mo. ; Hoxie. 

 Little Rock and Texarkana, Ark.; Cleveland (L. Haney). Okla. : 

 Palestine, Trinity, Houston, College Station, and Arlington, Tex.; 

 Troy, Ala. ; Cottondale, Marianna, RiA er Junction, and INIadison, 

 PTa.: Madisonville (W. L. Gordon), Ky. ; and Washington, D. C. 

 The galls occur in the fall dropping with the leaves. The larvae 

 transform in late November, the adults remaining in the galls to 

 emerge in the spring. Galls collected at Ironton October 5, 1917. 

 gave adults (at Evanston) May 16, 28, June 2, 1918. Flies emerged 

 (at Evanston) from Arlington galls May 16, 1918. and from Mari- 

 anna galls May 1, 1920. Galls collected at Washington gave flies 

 March 14, 1921, and in 1924 they emerged April 10-17. Galls sent 

 to Washington from Kentucky gave adults March 14, 1921. 



The similar galls on Q. wargaretta give flies which do not seem to 

 be different. The similar gall on Q. cliapinaiu may also be due to 

 this species. It is cjuestionable whether this is specifically different 

 from Ari<Jricuf< focci (Walsh).
