There are several errors in previously published lists of parasites, 
due to confusion caused by Mayr’s earlier use of the name folii for what 
is now known as pubescentis (q.v.). 
This is the well-known, Central European variety of folii , 
recorded from nearly every locality where Cynipidae have 
been collected in that area, and described as sometimes cov- 
ering many of the leaves of certain trees. Kieffer recorded 
(1901:184) an average of six galls for each of seven leaves, 
and as many as sixteen galls on a single leaf; and Connold 
(1908) found as many as twelve galls per leaf in southern 
England. This has been called the “cherry gall” in England, 
and its size and abundance, and the bright red colors of the 
fresh gall have made it an object of some popular as well as 
widespread scientific interest. 
The young galls of the agamic folii appear in early sum- 
mer, as early as mid- June (acc. Schlechtendal 1870) or early 
July (acc. Adler 1881) in Germany. Galls collected in north- 
ern England on August 15 (1927, Anderson in Kinsey coll.) 
were still not mature. The galls are full-sized by the end of 
August in England (acc. Connold 1908), altho the larval in- 
sects are still very small at that time. Pupation may occur 
late in September (material from Moravia, Baudys in Kinsey
