FEMALE AND MALE. — Apparently as described for the subgenus 
and species, said to differ in no respect from the bisexual insects of 
C. folii folii form taschenbergi; therefore differing from C. longiventris 
form substituta in having the legs including the femora a brighter, 
clearer yellow; differing from the bisexual C. divisa form verrucosa in 
having the entire mesonotum and mesopleuron smooth and shining. 
GALL. — Very similar to that of C. folii folii form taschenbergi 
and C. longiventris form similis; described as bearing longer hairs which 
are yellowish and red in color; recorded only from buds on the young 
stems of Quercus pubescens (and Q. Toza?). 
RANGE. — Probably that of the agamic form pubescentis (fig. 16), 
which occurs thruout the Mediterranean area of Europe, Asia Minor, 
and northern Africa. The bisexual form flosculi is known definitely 
from: 
France: Vincennes (acc. Giraud 1868). 
Italy: Palermo (Stefani acc. Houard 1912:33). 
Austria: Vienna (Mayr acc. Tschek 1869). 
Hungary (Paszlavszky acc. Kieffer 1901). 
Czecho-Slovakia (acc. Bayer 1914).

Cette forme, que j’ai observee depuis longtemps en Autriche, est 
aussi inedite. Les echantillons que j’ai decouverts a Vincennes sont per- 
forms, presque secs, mais tres-reconnaissables. Elle est plus precoce que 
l’espece precedente et se montre des les premiers signes du reveil de la
