Microgaster gclechice Riley : Adult emerges from gall and white 

 silken cocoon within in spring. Common in North Carolina and 

 present at Ithaca, N. Y. 



At least two other species of parasites have been reared but not 

 as yet determined. One species is a gregarious braconid, the other 

 is probably Pseiidacrias sexdentatus Girault.
