Map 13 



Eurytoma solenozopheriae Ashmead, 1887, p. 196. — Driggers, 1927, pp. 253-259. — 

 McAlisterand Anderson, 1932, pp. 1164-1169.— Peck, 1951, p. 578. 



Neotypes: 18 females and 15 males, collected May 1, 1949, by 

 O. Peck from gall of Hemadas nubilipennis. Neotype female and 

 neoparatypes in the collection of the Department of Agriculture, 

 Ottawa, Canada. Neoparatypes in the Bugbee collection, Allegheny 

 College, MeadvUle, Pa. Ashmead (1887) states that the species was 

 described from specimens from Toronto, Canada, sent to him by 

 WUliam Brodie. The types seem to have been lost. 



Neotype locality: Marmora, Ontario, Canada. 



Distribution: United States: Maine, Connecticut, Washington, 

 D.C., New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania. Can- 

 ada: Ontario, Quebec. 



Host: Hemades nubilipennis (Ashmead), gallmaker on blueberry, 

 Vaccinium corymbosvm, and V. pennsylvanicum (Driggers, 1927). 



Remarks: Ashmead (1887) implies in his remarks following the 

 description of E. solenozopheriae that the host gallmaker on blueberry 

 was the cynipid Solenozopheria {=Loxaulus) vaccinii (Ashmead). 

 Driggers (1927) demonstrated that the true gallmaker was a chalcid, 

 Hemadas nubilipennis (Ashmead), and that he was unable to breed a 

 single female specimen of S. vaccinii from the galls. It was discovered 

 later that the single female specimen that Ashmead had was bred 

 from a gall on oak rather than Vaccinium. 



The yellow scape, tegula, and legs including the fore- and midcoxae 

 and the deeper reddish-brown hindcoxa; the reddish-brown abdomen; 

 the very narrow dorsal valves of the female genitalia that bend 

 sharply dorsally, anteriorly, then posteriorly with the ventral valves, 

 forming an arc of 180°, and the vertical plane of the stylet arch, are 

 additional characteristics of this species.

Eurytoma furva Bugbee, 1958a, p. 198. 



Types: 11 females and 9 males; holotype female in the U.S. National 

 Museum (USNM 66031); paratypes in the Bugbee collection, Alle- 

 gheny College, Meadville, Pa., and in the U.S. National Museum. 



Type locality: Napa, Calif. 



Distribution: Known only from the type locality. 



Host: Disholcaspis washingtonensis (GiUette) on Quercus douglasii. 



Remarks: This species differs from Eurytoma querci-globuli in the 

 longer sixth abdominal tergum, the reduction of the sculpturing to
