Bato. Ney. 
Gall. Four to 5 mm high, 1.5 mm in diameter, the tip fimbriate. 
This is an irregular, rather spiny gall (pl. 12, fig. 2) on the upper 
surface of the leaf, each containing a yellowish larva, the posterior 
extremity being bright red. This species is probably an inquiline.

bright red. Head short; antennae stout, with a length one-half 
greater than its diameter; breastbone bidentate, the teeth narrowly 
rounded. Shaft moderately chitinized. Skin nearly smooth; pos- 
terior extremity broadly rounded, deeply cleft. Provisionally

Male. Length 1.5 mm. Antennae one-half longer than the 
body, rather thickly haired, fuscous yellowish, yellowish basally; 
fourteen segments, the fifth with the stems three times their 
diameters; distal enlargement pyriform, with a length one-third 
greater than its diameter. Palpi; first segment probably quad-
