a Galesua^ as Nees describes its anteim.ne as 16- instead of 14-jointed. Mar- 
shall describes a new species with aborted Aving-s (vide infra). 
Marshall describes both sexes of dilatatm ifNQaivf.), the $ 
having been previously unknown. He characterizes the genus, and discusses 
the distinctions between the $ and those of allied genera. Ent. M. Mag. 
iv. pp. 100-107.

Cynipidas. 
P. Smith (Ent. M. Mag. iii. pp. 181-183) remarks upon the occurrence of 
females only among many thousand specimens of species of the genus Cynips 
bred by himself and other entomologists. He refers especially to C. kollari, 
but has also investigated C. radicis, C. folii, and C. aptera, without ever 
meeting Avith a male. Smith refers to the supposed discovery of the male of 
C. coiifluens by Osten-Sacken in America, and remarks that the connexion 
between this male and the female C. conjiuens is by no means proved. 
Neuroterus. Marshall describes the British species of this genus (Ent. 
M. Mag. iv. pp. 124-126), of which he cites 3, namely : — N. malpighii (Hart.) 
= ? lenticularis (OY\y .) ^? longipemiis (Fab,), N. funipenniSj and N. politus 
(Hart.). The male of N.funipennis is after Avards described by Marshall, Avith 
the gall formed by the species (1. c. p. 147), where also N. reaumurii (Hart.) 
is cited as British. 
Teras terminaUs (Fab.) is also described by Marshall (/. c. p. 148). 
Cynips. Marshall (/. c. pp. 0-8) gives a synopsis of the British species of 
this genus as restricted. He admits 6 species, namely : — C. folii (Linn,), C. 
lignicola (llavi.) =kollari (Giraud), C. radicis (Fab.), C. fecundatrix (Hart.), 
and C. ramuli (Linn.). Of the latter the (S has been discovered. 
J. Giraud publishes (Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1867, pp. xiii-xvi) a notice of 
Cynips fecundatrix (Plart.) bred from a gall on Quercus pedunculata, the 
Artichoke-gaJ.1 ” of ll^aumur. 
Tascheuberg publishes some remarks upon galls. Zeitschr. ges. Naturw. 
xxix. pp. 498-499. 
Cynips terminaUs. Cornelius (Stelt. ent. Zeit. 1867, pp. 03-04) notices 
the great prevalence of the galls of this species in 1866 near Elberfeld, and 
records some observations upon them. 
Haimhoften describes and figures (Verb, zool.-bot. Ges. in Wien, xvii. 
pp. 527-530) the gall produced upon the twigs of Quercus pedunculata by 
Cynips coriaria (Hart.), and also gives a full description of that insect. 
Synergus incrassatus (Hart.) was produced from the galls as an inquiliue j 
and of other parasites 2 species of Eidophides occurred. 
Andricus. Marshall notes (/. c. pp. 101-102) the British species of this 
genus,namely : — A. trilineatus, nodnlij and moniliatus (Hart.), and a new species, 
Andricus hartigii.
