Cynips dugesi var. A Kinsey, 1927, Field and Lab. Manual, in Biol.: 110. 
FEMALE. — Head (including the whole basal half of the antenna), 
thorax, and legs uniformly rich rufous, abdomen rufous to ruf o-piceous ; 
head about as wide as the thorax; parapsidal grooves moderately con- 
vergent at the scutellum; foveae large and broad, almost wholly smooth 
at bottom or limitedly, shallowly sculptured; wings short, about 0.85 of 
the body in length, extending a little beyond the tip of the abdomen; 
first abscissa of the radius arcuate-angulate ; second abscissa of the 
radius expanded but not large terminally; radial cell very short and 
broad, hardly longer than wide; areolet small to closed; the spots in 
the cubital cell not actually but comparatively large, extending toward 
the blotch at the base of the cell; length 2.5 to 3.4 mm., smaller than 
simulatrix, distinctly larger than pupoides. Figures 273, 278. 
GALL. — As described for the species. Apparently not to be dis- 
tinguished from other varieties of dugesi unless averaging smaller 
(types up to 15.0 mm. in diameter), with a thinner and more translucent 
shell. On leaves of the several forms of Quercus Gambelii (= Q. undu- 
lata Gillette, not recent authors), Q. fendleri (acc. Weld), and Q. grisea 
(acc. Weld). Figure 262. 
BANGE. — Colorado: Manitou (Gillette; brevipennata types). Colo- 
rado Springs (Carpenter, pellucidus types). Trinidad and Morley (acc. 
Weld 1922). Wetmore, West Cliff, La Yeta, and Spanish Peaks (acc. 
Weld 1926). 
New Mexico: Raton, Wagon Mound, Shoemaker, Glorieta, and 
Tijeras (acc. Weld 1926). Las Vegas Hot Springs (acc. Weld 1922, 
inch Kinsey coll.). 28 miles east of Raton (C. Schwachheim in Kinsey 
coll.). 
Probably confined to a limited area in the mountain region of south- 
ern Colorado and more northern New Mexico. Figure 44. 
TYPES. Of brevipennata: 3 females and 20 galls. Holotype and 
paratype females in the U.S. National Museum; paratype female and 
galls in the American Museum of Natural History. From Manitou, 
Colorado; September 30; “Q. undulata” (= Q. Gambelii ); C. P. Gillette 
collector. 
Of pellucidus: 8 females and 8 galls. Holotype female, paratype 
female, and galls in the Museum of Comparative Zoology; paratype 
females and galls at the American Museum of Natural History and in 
the Kinsey collection. One insect bred, the other cut from galls; from
