inck (Beob. u. d. ersten Entw. einiger Cynipiden- 

 gallen, p. 138) gives Neuroterus aprilinus as the spring

 shire (Rothera and Ransom), and Fitch includes it in 

 his list of Essex galls (1. c). 



The inquilines are Synergus vulgaris, 8. facialis,

Eupelmus azureus is given as a parasite by Ratze-

 toma setigera, Mayr. 



Continental distribution : France, Switzerland, 

 Germany, Austria.
