Kinsey : Gall Wasp Genus Cynips 
243 
GALLS OF AGAMIC FORMS. — Spherical, thin-shelled, naked or 
finely pubescent, with the central larval cell supported by dense, radiat- 
ing fibers or closely embedded in more compact tissue; occurring singly, 
on the leaves of white oaks. 
GALLS OF BISEXUAL FORMS.— Egg-shaped cells with one end 
flattened; buried in unmodified buds, or surrounded by a few slender, 
thread-like remnants of leaves. 
RANGE. — Known from the northeastern United States to Florida 
and Arizona. To be expected from Mexico. Figure 35. 
FIG. 35. KNOWN RANGE, SUBGENUS PHILONIX 
One species known from each area. 
SUBGENOTYPE. — Philonix fulvicollis Fitch. One of the two 
species originally included by Fitch. Designated as genotype by Ash- 
mead, 1903, Psyche 10: 148. 
Cynips pezomachoides Osten Sacken designated as genotype by 
Beutenmuller, 1909, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist. 26: 246, is unacceptable 
because of previous designation and because pezomachoides was not in- 
cluded in the original description of Philonix. 
This subgenus has previously been recognized from four 
agamic forms which I consider varieties of the species 
fulvicollis . Additional varieties of fulvicollis have now been 
recognized so that species now includes seven agamic forms 
(with three additional names which are synonyms), all of 
which occur in the United States east of the Rockies.
