proved to occur in France north of a narrow Mediterranean 
strip in Provence, it is more than likely that the Vincennes 
material represented the bisexual form of folii, altho the 
Austrian material might well have been, as Mayr determined, 
the same as Tschek’s giraudi from Austria. Since none of 
these workers established holotypes, it seems impossible to 
settle this question on the basis of actual material, and I 
have accepted usage in the application of these names.

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION.— Kieffer, 1896, Bull. Soc. Ent. France 
1896: 371. Dryophanta ilicis n.sp. — Voisin de D. folii L., dont elle 
differe par le douzieme article antennaire un peu moins long que gros, 
les ailes hyalines et Foviducte preeminent. 
Long. 3 mill. 
La galle produite par cette espece ne differe de celle de D. pubes- 
centis Mayr que par de petites verrues d’un brun sombre, entourees 
d’une tache brun clair, eparses sur la surface. Sur Quercus Ilex L. 
Je dois egalement cet insecte a Fobligeance du Reverend Pere Pantel. 
Environs de Ucles. 
Translation. Dryophanta ilicis new species. Related to D. folii L., 
from which it differs in having the twelfth antennal segment not quite 
as long as broad, in having hyaline wings, and in its protruding oviposi- 
tor. Length 3. mm. The gall produced by this species differs from 
that of D. pubescentis Mayr only in having small dull brown warts, 
surrounded by touches of clear brown, scattered over the surface. On 
Quercus Ilex L. I am indebted to Father Pantel for this insect. Found 
in the neighborhood of Ucles [in central Spain].
