Cecidomyia vitis Ututm — 



Riley, 5th Rept. Nox. Ins. of Mo. p. 119. 



Riley, Amer. Ent. Vol. II. pp. 28 & 113. 



This gall miaj' be either bright green or crimson red in color or any 

 variation between the two. It is narrow, elongated, conical, sometimes 

 slightly curved at tip and about 1-3 inch in length and usually on the upper 

 surface of the leaf in great numbers. It occurs on many species of Vitis 

 and has been reported from Ontario, New York, New Jersey and Missouri. 

 The writer has also collected it in Ohio. Saunders describes it in his 

 Insects Injurious to Fruits. So far as I know it does not attack the culti- 

 vated grapes and does not usually seriously injure the wild species. Riley 

 reports it as attacking V. cordifoUa, V. riparia, V. laiusca and V. vulpina. 

 Mr. Greene's Indiana material was on V. bicolor.
