Kinsey: Gall Wasp Genus Cynips 
453 
U.S. National Museum. The insect belongs to the eburneus group and is 
ruled out of Cynips on the same basis. See eburneus in this list. 
Pulchripennis Ashmead, 1896, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 19: 115. Dry- 
oplianta in orig. publ. Dryophanta or Diplolepis of later authors. I 
have studied the holotype in the U.S. National Museum. The insect 
belongs to the eburneus group and is ruled out of Cynips on the same 
basis. See eburneus in this list. 
Pumiliventris Bassett, 1890, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. 17 : 69. Dry- 
ophanta in orig. publ. Dryophanta, Diplolepis, and Trigonaspis of later 
authors. I have seen the holotype male in the Philadelphia Academy 
and numerous paratype males. Weld (1921, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 59: 
205) concludes that this is a Trigonaspis synonymous with Trigonaspis 
radicis Ashmead. See the remarks on the genus under texana in this 
list. 
Pusulatoides Bassett, 1890, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. 17 : 74. Andricus 
in orig. publ. Andricus, Dryophanta, and Callirhytis of later authors. 
I have seen the holotype at the Philadelphia Academy. The insect is 
ruled out of true Cynips on the same basis as palustris, (q.v.) in this 
list. 
Quercifoliae Ashmead, 1885, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. 12 : 299. Andri- 
cus in orig. publ. Andricus, Callirhytis, Dryophanta, and Diplolepis 
of later authors. I have studied the holotype at the National Museum. 
The insect belongs to the palustris group, and is ruled out of true 
Cynips on the same basis. See palustris in this list. 
Radicola Ashmead, 1896, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 19: 116. Dryophanta 
in orig. publ. Dryophanta, Diplolepis, and Amphibolips of later authors. 
Weld (1921, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. 59: 203) assigned the species to 
Trigonaspis. I have seen the holotype in the National Museum and 
agree with Weld’s assignment. See notes on the genus under texana in 
this list. 
Saccularius Bassett, 1890, Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc. 17 : 76. Andricus 
in orig. publ. Diplolepis (as synonym of cinereae) in Weld 1926. I 
have seen the holotype, which is a male, in the Philadelphia Academy. 
The insect belongs to the palustris group (q.v.) and is probably ruled 
out of Cynips on the same basis. 
Serratae Ashmead, 1904, Journ. N.Y. Ent. Soc. 12:80. Dryophanta 
in orig. publ. Diplolepis of later authors. I have studied the holotype 
in the National Museum. The thorax is shagreened, the hypopygial 
spine is short, blunt, not widened, without a terminal tuft of hairs. 
These are not true Cynips characters. Weld has put the holotype under 
Trichagalma in the National Museum collection. 
Sessilis Weld, 1926, Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus 68 (10): 31. Diplolepis in 
orig. publ. I have seen the holotype and several paratypes The galls 
might be accepted as Cynips of the subgenus Antron, but the insects 
have the hypopygial spine long, very slender, without a terminal tuft 
of hairs, and withal very different from the spine of true Cynips.
