Cynipidji;. 
Cynips querciis-operator, O. S., is almost certainly double-brooded ; its 
habits, and those of C. quercus-botatus ?, Bassett, and C. q.-futilis, O. S., are 
recorded, with the suggestion that all N. American Cynips proper are 
double-, and Diastrophus and Bhodites single-brooded. Galls produced 
from leaf -buds are recorded, and the weights of individual insects given. 
H. F. Bassett, Canad. Ent. v. pp. 91-94, and P. E. Soc. 1873, p. xv. 
E. Newman, Ent. vi. pp. 275-278, suggests the adoption of the theory 
that galls are ' pseudo-balani ' or false acorns ; adducing the globular 
gall of Cynips hollari as an instance. Cf. E. Parfitt, quoted, op. cit. p. 338.

thus making the gall polythalamous : id. op. cit. p. 161.
