Dasyneura pergandei Felt 



191 1 Felt, E. P. Econom. Ent. Jour., 4:480 



This species was reared by Mr Theodore Pergande in 1878 from 

 swollen fruit of wild cherry, probably Prunus m e 1 a 11 o- 

 c a r p a , collected by Prof. C. V. Riley at Glen Eyrie, Col., the 

 preceding June. The reddish larvae deserted the infested fruit, 

 wintering in the ground. Mr Pergande's rearings paralleled those 

 of the writer, in that he secured more than one species, as is 

 evidenced by a study of the specimens reared. 



Gall. Somewhat oval, pointed at the end, the upper half reddish, 

 the other yellowish green (Pergande).
