HYMENOPTERA PETIOLATA 



CYNIPIDAE 



The Cynipidae are very small hymenopterous insects, usually black or dark in colour, which 

 according to their mode of life may be divided into three groups : (i) those whose eggs are laid, 

 and the resulting larvae feed, in the tissues of a living plant, the presence of the egg or larva usually 

 resulting in the formation of a ' gall ' a peculiar abnormal growth in the merismatic tissue of the 

 plant. The succulent internal substance of the gall furnishes the larva with food. The oak- 

 apple, marble gall, oak-spangle, and Robin's pincushion or bedeguar gall of the wild rose are familiar
