Kinsey: The Genus Neuroterus 69 
not being known. It is probable that an obscure bud or 
flower gall, probably monothalamous, will prove to be the 
alternate of the agamic verrucarum. Such a gall apparently 
is not yet named. 
In addition to the varieties described here, I have ver- 
rucarum galls but not sufficient insects from Quercus stellata 
at Carmel, New Jersey, Q. geminata at New Smyrna and 
Bowling Green, Florida, and from Q. Rolfsii at Fort Meyers, 
Florida. These may represent three undescribed varieties. 
Judging from host and locality records the following refer- 
ences are to undescribed varieties: 
Neuroterus verrucarum Ashmead, 1887, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc., XIV, 
p. 135 (Florida, Q. stellata). Beutenmuller, 1910 (in part), Bull. 
Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., XXVIII, p. 122 (New York, New Jersey, 
Q. stellata). Beutenmuller in Smith, 1910, Ins. N.J., p. 598 (New 
Jersey, Q. stellata). Viereck, 1916, Hymen. Conn., p. 385 (Con- 
necticut? Q. macrocarpa) .

(Colorado). Gillette, 1892, Proc. Iowa Acad. Sci., 1 (2), p. 114 
(Iowa). Jarvis, 1907, 37th Rpt. Ent. Soc. Ont., p. 71; 1909, 39th 
Rpt. Ent. Soc. Ont., p. 86, pi. R, fig. 2 (Canada, Q. alba). Beuten- 
muller, 1910 (in part). Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., XXVIII, p. 
123 (Canada, Iowa, and Colorado records only). Sears, 1914, Ohio 
Nat., XV, p. 383, fig. 28 (Ohio, Q. macrocarpa). Felt, 1921, N.Y.

Neuroterus quercus-verrucarum Dalla Torre and Kieffer, 1910, Das Tier- 
reich, XXIV, p. 336 (Florida, Q. stellata, record only). 
Judging from the distinct faunal areas occupied by the 
white oaks exclusive of the chestnut oaks, there may be as 
many as 40 varieties of this species, only 7 of which are now 
described.
