Kinsey : Gall Wasp Genus Cynips

a rather compact mass of branched fibers, the larval cell rounded, up 
to 2.5 mm. in diameter, located very near the base of the gall. Attached 
by a slightly projecting point on the middle of the broad base, on the 
veins of the under surfaces of leaves of Quercus grisea. Figures 288- 
289, 336. 
RAN GE — Arizona : Globe. 
Probably confined to a limited area including the country between 
Globe and Phoenix, Arizona. Figure 57. 
TYPES.-— 3 females and many galls. Holotype and paratype in- 
sects and galls in the Kinsey collection; galls at the Museum of Com- 
parative Zoology, the U.S. National Museum, and the American Museum. 
Labelled Globe, Arizona; January 20, 1920; Q. grisea; Kinsey collector. 
When the type material was collected at Globe on January 
20 (in 1920), most of the galls showed the holes thru which 
the adult gall makers had previously emerged ; but three adults 
emerged a few days after that. Emergence thus occurs in 
mid-January, even tho the winter season is rather severe in 
the mountains near Globe. No further life-history data are 
available, but judging from the related species of the genus, 
the gall may be expected to appear early in the summer. 
Other varieties of conica may be expected in Arizona, New 
Mexico, and West Texas, and further south in Mexico. 
Cynips (Acraspis) nubila Bassett 
agamic forms 
FEMALE. — Thorax of normal size; the mesonotum punctate to 
rugoso-punctate ; parapsidal grooves continuous or obscure anteriorly; 
anterior parallel lines wholly punctate, poorly defined; lateral lines 
smooth, naked, broad; median groove sometimes shallowly indicated at 
the scutellum; scutellum rugose, very slightly raised along the mid-line; 
the foveal depression finely, irregularly rugose at bottom; mesopleuron 
mostly smooth and shining but with a fine, shallow punctation; abdomen 
of normal size, mostly naked or entirely but sparsely hairy; wings long, 
about 1.30 times the body length, with a complete venation; infuscation 
on the first abscissa of the radius extending one-fifth to more than one- 
third the length of the radial cell; areolet large to very large; a rather 
broad infuscation on the second inter-cubital vein; with two irregular, 
more or less fused, smoky patches lying side by side and filling a large 
part of the apical third of the cubital cell; a faint cloud at the break 
in the anal vein; length 2.5 to 4.0 mm. 
GALL. — A mass of coarse hairs, containing a spherical, hard core. 
Monothalamous, the core averaging 4.0 to 7.0 mm., the entire gall aver- 
aging 10.0 to 15.0 mm., compacted clusters of several galls measuring
