Neuroterus quercus-obtusilobse Dalla Torre and Kieffer, 1910, Das Tier- 
reich, XXIV, pp. 341, 805, 834. 
FEMALE. — Described as having the areolet about closed and the 
length 2.0 mm. 
GALL. — As described for the species; on Quercus stellata. 
RANGE. — Texas; Dallas. Probably confined to more eastern Texas 
and parts of adjacent states. 
TYPES. — Probably at the Berlin Museum. From Dallas, Texas; on 
Q. stellata. 
Unfortunately type material of this gall has been inacces- 
sible to American students, and I am making my interpreta- 
tion on the basis of the published descriptions and figures. 
These indicate rather clearly the relationship to hatatus, but 
do not provide many points for comparison with related va- 
rieties. The closed areolet, host, and range should make it 
possible to recognize further material.

Neuroterus noxiosus form veimalis Kinsey, 1922, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. 
Hist., XLII, p. 337, pi. XXIX, figs. 14-16 (only Q. Prinus record). 
FEMALE. — Face piceous, shading to yellowish piceous on the 
mouthparts; antennae straw yellow basally; thorax not very robust nor 
elongate; abdomen distinctly produced ventrally; legs yellow; areolet 
of moderate size to small; the first abscissa distinctly angulate near 
the subcosta, with a more distinct projection than in noxiosus; length 
1.2-1.7 mm. 
MALE. — As described for the species. 
GALL. — Similar to that of noxiosus form vernalis; on Quercus 
Prinus. 
RANGE. — Rhode Island or eastern Massachusetts. Probably con- 
fined to Q. Prinus in a more northeastern part of the United States. 
TYPES. — 41 females, 65 males, 7 galls. Holotype female, 
paratype females, males, and galls at the Boston Society of Natural 
History; paratype females, males, and galls at The American Museum 
of Natural History, the U. S. National Museum, the Museum of Com- 
parative Zoology, and the Philadelphia Academy, and in the Kinsey 
collection. Labelled Providence, Rhode Island, or Massachusetts; June 
18, 1906, and July 5, 1907; Q. Prinus; M. T. Thompson collection num-
