A number of the yellowish males and females were reared Sep- 
tember 19, 1910 from a narrow, clustered, apical, bud gall on 
Sprratea salicitolia collected in August. 1910 by Cora H: 
Clarke at Magnolia, Mass. This species appears most closely allied 
to C. pratensis Felt, though it is easily separated by the broadly 
emarginate lobes of the dorsal plate. It is possibly an inquiline, 
Gall. Length 7 mm, diameter 3 mm. This appears to be some- 
what intermediate in character between the chestnut burr gall and 
the ordinary bud gall observed upon this shrub. The aborted 
leaves in this gall are slender, numerous, somewhat approximate 
and present a superficial resemblance to the fringed or chestnut 
burr gall.
