A. testaceipes, a typical specimen of which is in the Vienna 
zoological cabinet.—G. L. Mayr. 
The inquilines and parasites referred to are Synergus 
apicalis, Hart., Ceroptres arator, Hart., and Megastigmus 
dorsalis, Fabry. I have often found these galls on the petiole 
and midrib, but always took them for A. noduli. I have 
never bred their inmates.—Z. A. Fitch.

number of small, irregularly placed, oviform, yellowish brown 
inner galls, each of which contains a larva. This interesting 
gall undoubtedly attains its peculiar shape through the 
parenchyma being pierced when still in the bud, which 
prevents the development of the axis; this, together with the 
thickened and comated parenchyma, forms the disk. The 
yellow gall-makers are produced in July; but the one-year
