Cynips belia variety congesta, new variety 
agamic form 
Figures 45, 281 
FEMALE. — Parapsidal grooves moderately separated at the scutel- 
lum; foveal groove largely smooth at bottom but everywhere with a 
sparse, shallow sculpturing, this sculpturing hardly suggesting a sepa- 
ration into foveae; areolet of moderate size to large; the smoky patches 
in all the cells of goodly size and number, larger and even heavier than 
in variety belia; the spots in the cubital cell distinctly larger, more 
often fusing; the spot in the radial cell of good size; length 3.0 to 3.2 
mm. Figure 281. 
GALL. — As described for the species, apparently indistinguishable 
from the galls of the other varieties of belia or from the gall of Cynips 
dugesi pupoides which occurs in the same region. On leaves of Quercus 
g rise a. 
RANGE. — Texas: Alpine and Fort Davis (Kinsey coll.). 
Probably confined to the mountain ranges of western Texas (and 
adjacent regions?). Figure 45. 
TYPES. — 3 females, many galls (the galls confused with those of 
Cynips dugesi pupoides ), in the Kinsey collection. Labelled Alpine, 
Texas; December 14, 1919; Q. grisea; Kinsey collector. 
These insects were emerging on December 14 (in 1919) at 
Alpine, Texas, and two days later at Fort Davis, Texas. 
Cynips dugesi pupoides, whose galls also occur at Alpine and 
Fort Davis, is a small, short-winged insect that cannot be 
confused with congesta. 
Cynips belia variety vanescens, new variety 
agamic form 
Figures 45, 282 
FEMALE. — Parapsidal grooves rather closely convergent at the 
scutellum; entire foveal groove finely rugose at bottom, without a trace 
of separation into foveae; areolet of moderate size; spots in the cubital 
cell reduced in number and size, not dark; the markings in the radial 
cell quite small; length 2.5 mm. Figure 282. 
GALL. — As described for the species, apparently indistinguishable 
from the galls of the other varieties of belia and probably from an as 
yet undescribed variety of dugesi that may occur in the same region. 
On leaves of Quercus grisea. 
RANGE. — Arizona: Globe (Kinsey coll.). Apache Trail at Fish 
Creek (galls, Kinsey coll.).
