Die Wespe bewohnt eine Blattgalle auf Quercus pubescens, und ist 
eine Entdeckung des Herrn Kollar in der Umgegend Wiens. Die Galle 
sitzt, wie alle Blattgallen auf der Unterseite des Blattes einer Blattrippe 
auf und besteht aus einem glatten, harten, drei Linien langen und V 2 - 
% Linien dicken, in der Mitte verengten, an der Spitze keulenformig 
etwas erweiterten, mitunter etwas gekriimmten Hornchen. 
Translation . Cynips carnifex Kollar: black, with the mesonotum 
spotted black and the legs rufous; the coxae and the posterior tarsi 
black; length 2 mm. 
The wasp lives in a leaf gall on Quercus pubescens, being a discovery 
of Kollar’s in the neighborhood of Vienna. Like all leaf galls on the 
underside of the leaf, the gall is attached to a leaf vein; it is a smooth 
and hard horn, 6 mm. long and 1 to 1.5 mm. in diameter, constricted 
in the middle, with the tip club-shaped but somewhat swollen, the gall 
sometimes crumpled. 
TYPES. — Not designated and probably not in existence. Originally 
described from material collected by Kollar in the neighborhood of 
. ienna, Austria. 
The present descriptions are based on the published descriptions 
cited in the bibliography, on four adults from the Mayr collection (and 
Mayr det.) in the U.S. National Museum, and on galls from Austria 
and Italy in the Kinsey collection. 
INQUILINE. — Synergus pallicomis Hartig (acc. Mayr 1872). 
Emerges in April of the following or the second following year (acc. 
Dalla Torre and Kieffer 1910).

fall and winter of the same year and the following spring. 
D. variegata Walker (acc. Mayr 1905). 
Eupelmus bedeguaris Ratzeburg (Giraud 1877 acc. Kieffer 1899: 4). 
E. spongipartus Forster (acc. Ruschka 1920). 
E. urozonus Dalman (acc. Ruschka 1920). 
Eurytoma rosae Nees. Emerges the same fall and into the follow- 
ing June (acc. Mayr 1878). 
Ormyrus punctiger Westwood (Rondani acc. Dalla Torre 1898).

The beautiful, slender, conical, green or reddish-brown gall 
of this species is a unique departure from the more or less 
strictly spherical galls of the other species of European 
Cynips. Internally the gall shows some of the compact, 
spongy fibers which occur in the galls of nearly all species of
