TYPES. — Female and gall at the Museum of Comparative Zool- 
ogy. From Washington, D.C.; October; “Quercus obtusiloba” ( = Q. stel- 
lata) ; Osten Sacken collector. 
The present re-descriptions are made from New York, Washington, 
D.C., and Virginia material, part of it compared some years ago with 
the type material. 
INQUILINES.- — Synergus laeviventris (Osten Sacken) (acc. Osten 
Sacken 1865). 
Gelechia geminella Linnaeus (acc. Riley 1871). A European moth; 
doubtful determination. 
PARASITE. — Baryscapus centricolae Ashmead (acc. Ashmead 
1887). 
This variety of the species is well known from the eastern 
Coastal Plain, and we are now including data on its occurrence 
inland on the remants of the Coastal Plain in Illinois and Mis- 
souri. The British Columbia record for centricola in the 
Dalla Torre and Kieffer publications is, as usual, a misinter- 
pretation of Osten Sacken’s record of “D. C. ,, 
The galls of centricola are obtainable as early as August 20 
(1927, at Eddyville, Illinois). They are full grown before the 
end of September, and mature adults may sometimes be found 
in them early in October. By the middle of October most of 
the galls have fallen to the ground where they quickly disap- 
pear under the dead leaves that accumulate under the trees. 
Weld records unemerged adults in the galls at Washington 
on October 9 and 20 and November 1. These adults, in com- 
mon with other species of Cynips, do not emerge immediately. 
Weld secured emergence on November 17, 26, and December 8.
