This gall is formed in the spring and early summer, is spherical, green 

 and varying from 14 to i/^-inch in diameter. The larval chamber is oblong 

 and is lield in its place by radiating fibers. The outer covering is smooth 

 and thin. It is so placed in the leaf that 2-3 project below the lower 

 surface and 1-3 above. It very much resembles Amphlbolips inanis O. S. 

 except that it is smaller. It has been reported by Bassett from Connecti- 

 cut and has since been reported from New York, New .Tersey, Iowa. Miclii- 

 gan. The writer has also collected it in oiiio. Tlie reixn-ts thus far indi- 

 cate that it is restricted to Qiicreiis riihni. 



(Note. — The gall descril)ed by iiic in Insects galls of Indiana. 29th Rpt. 

 of the Dept. of Geol. and Nat. Res. of Indiana 1904, p. 836, as Holcaspis 

 centricola O. S. was an error and should have been described as A. sin- 

 gidaris Bassett.)
