THE GALL MIDGE FAINA OF WESTLRN 

 NOKTII AMERICA 



E. P. KELT, AI.HANY, N. Y. 



The followins: list suiiimarizcs oiir knowicdfje of tin' ;r»ll initio's in the 

 western half of North Anieriea and should he of serviee in di^eetin^; the efforts 

 of future investigators. There are in the Lestreiniinae. no representatives of 

 the ffenus Catoeha, Xeptuiiiniyia and Xeoeato<'ha, while the five American 

 t;encra referable to the lleteropezina- are remarkable for their absence from 

 the list. Investigation in the eastern Tnited States shows that Miastor, with 

 its peculiar pedoireiietie larva, is widely distributed, and it and it.s allies should 

 be found in the inoister wooded areas of the west. There are eiffht American 

 genera of Epidosaria- known, only three rejjresentcd by four species having 

 lieen re<-orded from the west. The oak Hora must support a characteristic 

 ("inctieornia fauna, yet none have been recorded, while the allied Schizomyia 

 is represented by only one species. The prolific and varied Itonidinaria' are 

 represented by relatively few species. The list is longer than we anticipated, 

 yet it must be considered as onl.v an intniductidn to what systematic collecting 

 will disclose.
