dorsal surface of the abdomen, and the very bases of the coxae piceous

The monothalamous gall spherical, rather flattened, the size of deer 
shot, smooth and more or less shining, like an apple with bright red 
cheeks, fleshy but hard, on the lower surfaces of the oak leaves; not 
common; found around Braunschweig. 
TYPES. — Not designated and probably not in existence. Hartig’s 
material from Braunschweig, Germany. 
The present descriptions are based on the published descriptions 
cited in the accompanying bibliography, and on several hundred insects 
and as many galls which I have from localities in Denmark, France, 
and Germany, determined by G. Mayr (Mus. Comp. Zool. coll.), Houard, 
Noury, Sajo, Forsius, P. Eigen, and Hoffmeyer, as detailed in the above 
distribution data. 
INQUILINES. — Synergus albipes Hartig. Emerges in August of 
the same year (acc. Mayr 1872). 
S. gallaepomiformis (Fonscolombe) (— S. fascialis Hartig) (acc. 
Blosch 1903). 
S. pallieornis Hartig. Emerges in April of the following spring 
(acc. Mayr 1872). 
S. tscheki Mayr. Emerges in March of the following spring (acc. 
Mayr 1872). 
PARASITES. — Decatoma biguttata (Swederus) (acc. Mayr-Fitch 
1876). Emerges the same fall or in April and June of the following
