Kinsey: Gall Wasp Genus Cynips 
261 
This is an Ozark variety which seems to be isolated from 
varieties major and vorisi of the same region by its host rela- 
tions. The types of gigas came from Q. lyrata and I have 
many insects that appear to represent the same variety from 
Q. Muhlenbergii and Q. Michauxii. Gigas is closely related 
to major and vorisi, and occasionally the host restrictions fail 
and the three hybridize in eastern Kansas. Weld was correct 
in recognizing lanaeglobuli, from Q. bicolor in Florida, as 
another relative of gigas. 
Weld found pupae in the galls on October 10 (in 1917) ; he 
found live adults in the galls on November 16. The Marlatt 
material from Riley County, Kansas, was bred in November 
and January. Weld’s material bred out-of-doors at Evanston 
gave eight adults on December 1 and three more on December 
18, the thermometer having registered — 14° F. between those 
dates. He found other adults emerging in the next spring, 
and suggests that “emergence must be distributed over at least 
two or three seasons, for normal larvae were found when the 
last of the galls were cut open December 2”, more than two 
years after collecting. Almost all of the insects I have bred 
emerged in the first winter after collection, only two emerging 
the second year in my breeding bags. My records for emer- 
gence are December 17, 20, 22, 28, and 24 ; January 4, 5, 7, and 
9; and February 6.
