SUMMARY OF GALL-niODUCEKS SINCE 1872. 27 



was captured, enjoys a very niilcl climate, and is well 

 sheltered from the north by the Cheviots. The insect 

 appears on the wing early in July, and in mountainous 

 districts as late as the middle of August. 



Mr. Lennon proposes to make a further search this year 

 for the insect, and I have little doubt will succeed in 

 establishing its claim to be considered a British species. 



The figure represents the upper side of the specimen, 

 taken Mr. Lennon in Scotland, although it has not been 

 thought necessary to depict the crumpled wings. 



NEW AND RARE BRITISH GALL-PRODUCERS 

 OBSERVED SINCE THE YEAR 187-^. 



By Edward A. Fitch. 



The following additions may be n)ade to Miiller's list, 

 which appeared in the 'Annual' for 1872. Some remarks 

 were made thereon by Rev, T. A. Marshall, in the volume 

 for 1874 (Annual, pp. 115 — 117). The arrangement accords 

 with that in the above-mentioned catalogue, to which this 

 forms a supplement. 



CVNIPIDiE. 



Dryophanta scu/ellarift, Oliv. — Our well-known cherry- 

 galls belong to this species, and not to D.Jolii, L. (Entom. 

 ix. 121). 



Aphilolhrix soli/aria, Fonsc. {=ferritginea, H.) (Entom. 

 viii. I(j9). — In addition to the localities given in the 'Ento- 

 mologist,' this gall has occurred in Middlesex, Surrey, and 

 Essex. It is no doubt generally distributed. 



A. glohuli, H. (Entom. viii. 254). 



A. au/uirninlis, H. (Entom. viii. 255; E. M. M. xii. 226). 

 — I have now learned to differentiate satisfactorily this and 

 the preceding species, both of which occur in oak-buds in 

 the autumn. Mayr's descriptions are found to be excellent, 

 when the two galls are compared. Recorded from Perth- 

 shire (P. Cameron). 



A. cullaris, H. (FiUlom. viii. 289). — The galls described by 

 Schlechtendal (Ent. Zeit. xxxi. 39(), 397), under the names 

 Cyuips tpgrnenloium and C. Jascinta, belong to this sj)ecies. 



A, albopunctala, Schl, (E. M. M. xi. 110). — This species
