Colorado Springs, Colorado; galls September 25, 1873; Lieut. W. L. 
Carpenter collector. 
Types of both of these were directly compared in making the present 
re-descriptions. 
INQUILINES . — Synergus similis Gillette (acc. Gillette 1896). 
S. atripes Gillette (acc. Gillette 1896). 
S. oneratus (Harris) (acc. Dalla Torre and Kieffer 1910). 
Weld found both pupae and adults in galls collected at Mani- 
tou as early as October 4 (in 1921), and adults in the galls 
“ready to emerge” [?] at Wetmore on October 6. Gillette 
cut live and active females from the galls of the type material 
on October 31. Weld cut a live adult out of a gall on Novem- 
ber 9 (1917) ; and specimens in the U. S. National Museum 
(Hopkins coll.) were bred October 31, November 15, Novem- 
ber 20 (1918) and January 10. I have seven adults from east 
of Raton which were bred on November 20 (1927). 
I agree with Weld that my pellucidus is the same as Gillette’s 
brevipennata. The two insects came from probably identical 
localities, the Garden of the Gods, midway between Manitou 
and Colorado Springs. A direct comparison of types shows 
them to agree, even tho brevipennata has always figured in the 
genus Disholcaspis where it should never have been placed, 
while I placed pellucidus in the meaningless assemblage called 
Andricus pending the present revision of Cynips. My 1920 
description of pellucidus contained numerous inaccuracies 
which must give way to the present re-descriptions of the 
insects. 
Considering our present difficulty in separating galls of the 
species bella and dugesi, much less of the several varieties of 
each species, records for brevipennata based on galls alone 
are of little value.

FEMALE. — Head (including the whole basal half of each antenna), 
the whole thorax, and the legs mostly bright rufous, limitedly darker 
rufous to ruf o-piceous in places ; abdomen dark rufous to piceous 
black; head about as wide as the thorax; parapsidal grooves well sepa- 
rated at the scutellum; foveae rounded, entirely smooth at bottom;
