: DRYOPHANTA AGAMA, 109 
The typical condition of the gall is unilocular and unilarval. 
The larva pupates in the gall. The imago emerges during 
the autumn.

The specimens shown in the plate can hardly be 
considered as typical of this species. They were not 
found until past maturity, and the leaves were begin- 
ning to wither; consequently the galls are slightly 
above the average normal size, and fewer in number 
than is usual. 
In the Hastings district they are rare, and no other 
specimens have been found that would serve the 
purpose of an illustration. 
This species is not mentioned in ‘ Alternating 
Fie. 11.—Sections of galls caused by (a) Dryophanta agama, (B) D. disticha, 
(c) D. divisa. All x 2. Dele. ad nat. E.C. 
Generations, and very little is recorded about it in 
any treatise on galls. 
The galls are found mostly on oak bushes in woods, 
and stunted growths along hedge banks. One year 
they may be numerous, the next, scarce, and no reason 
can be assigned. 
Their normal position is on the offshoots of the mid- 
rib; they are, however, occasionally attached to that 
also. They vary in number on a leaf to as many as 
ten, seldom more than twelve. 
In shape they are oval, or ovoid, occasionally 
globular, much flattened next the leaf. They are 
attached by a very short, but stout, peduncle. The 
position of attachment does not show on the upper 
surface of the leaf.
