Fitch's type of BiorJiica nigra is in the United States Na- 

 tional Museum and not lost as stated by me in my paper on 

 the species of Biorhi.':a, Philoni.v and Allied Genera, and their 

 Galls (Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., Vol. XXVI, 1909, p. 

 246). I examined the type a few years ago and my notes 

 say that it is the same as Acraspis politiis Bassett.

The type of Philoni.v fulvicollis Fitch, is in the United 



States National Museum and Philonix erinacei is the same as 



P. fulvicollis. 



Philonix nigricoUis Fitch. 



Philoni.v nigricoUis Fitch, 5th Rep. Nox. Ins. N. Y. (Trans. N. Y. 

 Agricul. Soc, 1858 (1859), p. 873). 



The type of P. nigricoUis is in the U. S. National Museum. 

 It is a small, slender species, measuring 2 mm. in length. It 

 is dark reddish brown with the collar darker and the legs 

 yellowish brown. 



Philonix lanaeglobuli (Ashmead). 



Acraspis lanaeglobuli Ashmead. Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, vol. XIY, 

 1887, pp. 128, 139. 



I examined the type of lanaeglobuli in the U. S. National 

 Museum and also have before me an example given to me 

 many years ago by Ashmead. I strongly suspect that Acraspis 

 gillcttei Bassett will prove to be the same as lanaeglobuli. 

 The galls of both are also exactly similar. 



Callirhytis agrifoliae (Bassett).

Mr. C. F. Baker kindly sent me specimens of Callirhytis 

 clairmoniis, galls and flies and I find the same to be identical 

 with Callirhytis agrifoliae. Mr. Baker's specimens are from
