arizonica, Kinsey coll.). Chiricahua Mountains ( Q . arizonica, acc. Weld

This variety probably restricted to more southern Arizona and 
southwestern New Mexico, altho related varieties may be expected else- 
where in the Southwest and in Mexico. Figure 36.

Holotype and many paratype insects and galls in the U.S. National 
Museum. Paratype insects and galls in the American Museum of 
Natural History, the Field Museum, Stanford University, the Museum 
of Comparative Zoology, Philadelphia Academy, and Kinsey collections. 
If this large series of paratypes of diverse origin is ever shown to rep- 
resent more than one variety, recourse must be had to the holotype 
series cited above. 
The present re-descriptions are based on the holotype, a number 
of the paratypes, and my own material from Arizona.
