This species was reared in April and May 1909, from a small, 

 depressed, globular, yellowish green or brownish, thin-walled, 

 hickory leaf gall taken at Nassau, N. Y., September 16, 1908, a 

 deformity quite distinct from that produced byC. holotricha 

 O. S. 



Gall. An irregular, small, depressed, globular, yellowish green or 

 brownish, thin-walled gall (pi. 10, fig. 9), some 2 to 2I mm in diameter 

 with the surface very sparsely clothed with fine hairs. This gall 

 has a somewhat general resemblance to that of C. antennata, 

 from which it is easily separated by the much thinner walls. 



Larva. Length 2.25 mm, whitish, stout, the head small; antennae 

 short, stout. Breastbone rather stout, unidentate, the tooth long, 

 slender, acute, the shaft somewhat expanded anteriorly, subobsolete 

 posteriorly, the body hardly tapering, the posterior extremity 

 broadly rounded. 



Exuvium. Length 2.5 mm, whitish. Antennal cases short, dis- 

 tinctly segmented distally, the internal basal angles slightly chitinized, 

 dorsal horns rather stout, slightly curved. Wing and leg pads
