Translation. Cynips agama, new species. Black; with the mouth, 
the area about the eyes, the pronotum, the mesonotum, the scutellum, 
and the legs rufous; the coxae and the bases of the femora more or 
less dark; the mesonotum less hairy than in C. longiventris ; the wing 
veins reddish; the length 3 mm. 
The gall the size, form, and color of a pea, somewhat longer than 
high and wide, narrower at the base, therefore almost kidney-shaped; 
monothalamous ; on the leaves of the young oaks, at times in very great 
numbers.

P. Eigen, Forsius, Houard, Noury, and Sajo (as detailed in the dis- 
tribution data).
