SUMMARY OF LfPlDOPTERA, 1874 — 1876". 31 



Uiophora solstitialis, L. (Entom. vi. 142). — In galled 

 flower- heads of C/j/z/awrfa nigra, generally distributed. 



Tnjpeia siguaia, Meig. (Entom. v. 450). — In the enlarged 

 and aborted receptacle of Inula critinnoides. The specific 

 determination of this species is very probably erroneous. 



? Trypela Serpi/lli, KirchniM- (Scot. Nat. ii. 2o'2). — In galled 

 flower-heads of Thyimis Serpijllum. 



The above list does not include the very numerous mite- 

 galls {Phyloptus, Duj.), and the genus Aiilax is best left as in 

 the 'Annual,' allhough it needs some revision.
