FEMALE. — The entire insect (except the terminal halves of the 
antennae) with only a bit of darker rufous; the head hardly narrower 
than the slender and distinctly elongate thorax; the mesonotum with a 
very few, scattered hairs and punctation, but in large part smooth, 
naked, and shining; the anterior parallel and lateral lines hardly visible; 
the mesopleuron largely hairy and punctate with a smooth band above 
the center; the abdomen nearly twice as long as high, the second seg- 
ment extending only half or two-thirds of the way to the tip of the 
abdomen dorsally; the tip of the second abscissa of the radius only 
slightly enlarged; the length 2.6 to 3.7 mm., averaging smaller than 
divisa but larger than agama. Figures 86, 105. 
GALL. — Similar to the gall of divisa but only superficially spherical, 
distinctly flattened at top and bottom and therefore more or less cylin- 
drical with an impressed tip on top, not strictly regular in shape; not 
much distorted on drying; up to 5.0 mm. in longest axis; largely smooth 
and naked, occasionally with a few irregularities on the surface; be- 
coming a bright, more or less rosy brown in color. The thin outer shell 
with a distinct hardened (collenchyma) layer beneath, with some spongy 
parenchyma; much of the interior of the gall occupied by two cavities, 
the larger of which, located above, is an open chamber, while the larval 
cell is located below; the larval cell averaging 2.5 mm. in length, with 
a distinct cell wall which is inseparable on all sides except where it lies 
toward the open chamber of the gall. Attached to the veins on the 
leaves of Quercus pedunculata, Q. sessiliflora, and Q. pubescens. 
Records for other oaks may apply to distinct varieties. Figures 123- 
124, 133-134.
