Kinsey: Gall Wasp Genus Cynips 
449 
has the hypopygial spine rather fine, blunt, and nowhere broadened, 
without a terminal tuft of hairs. The galls occur on black oaks. These 
are certainly not true Cynips characters. 
Eburneus Bassett, 1890, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. 16:70. Dryophanta 
in orig. publ. Dryophanta or Diplolepis of most later authors. I have 
seen the holotype in the Philadelphia Academy and several paratypes. 
The antennae are too short and too stout, the mesonotum too smooth, 
shining, and naked for an agamic Cynips. The hypopygial spine is 
somewhat broadened at base, but it is more slender and elongate than 
in Cynips. Incomplete data indicate a bisexual generation which is very 
different from true Cynips. 
Emoryi Ashmead, 1896, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 19:115. Dryophanta 
in orig. publ. Dryophanta or Diplolepis of later authors. I have seen 
the holotype in the National Museum and several paratypes. Originally 
described from the black oak, Q. Emoryi, but leaves with the types be- 
long to the Q. undulata group of white oaks. The insect belongs to the 
eburneus group and is ruled out of Cynips on the same basis. See 
eburneus in this list. 
Flavipes Fourcroy, 1785, Ent. Paris: 893. Diplolepis in orig. publ. 
and still maintained by Dalla Torre and Kieffer, 1910. The orig. descrip, 
obviously insufficient for identification of any cynipid. 
Fuscus Fourcroy, 1785, Ent. Paris: 392. Based on Diplolepis No. 5 
Geoffrey, 1762, Hist. Ins. 1: 311. Diplolepis in orig. publ. and still main- 
tained by Dalla Torre and Kieffer, 1910. Orig. descrip, insufficient, and 
does not mention the gall, so the name is unrecognizable. 
Glabra Gillette, 1894, Canad. Ent. 26 : 237. Dryophanta in orig. 
publ. Dryophanta or Diplolepis of most later authors. I have studied 
the holotype in the U.S. National Museum. The insect is close to 
eburneus Bassett and is ruled out of true Cynips on the same basis.

Guadaloupensis Fullaway, 1911, Ann. Ent. Soc. Amer. 4: 363, pi. 23 
fig. 4. Aeraspis acc. Weld 1926: 59. Not an Aeraspis but an Antron 
as treated in the present monograph. 
Hakonensis Ashmead, 1904, Journ. N.Y. Ent. Soc. 12:81. Dryo- 
phanta in orig. publ. Diplolepis of later authors. I have seen all of 
the type series in the National Museum. The mesonotum is smooth and 
shining and the hypopygial spine is slender, pointed, nowhere broadened, 
and without a terminal tuft of hairs. These are not true Cynips char- 
acters. 
Ignota Bassett, 1881, Canad. Ent. 13:106. Cynips in orig. publ. 
Andricus , Dryophanta, and Diplolepis of later authors. I have seen the 
holotype in the Philadelphia Academy, and numerous paratypes there 
and in other collections. The insect bears little resemblance to a true 
Cynips. The mesonotum is prominently coriaceous and nearly naked, 
the scutellar foveae are well separated, the wing veins are rather fine 
and quite light in color, the hypopygial spine is slender, in no place
