Eorms red, hairy, polythalamous galls on the top, or in the middle, 
of the stems of Hieracium ioreale and sahaudium. Eound in Scotland 
and near Scarborough by Mr. P, Inchbald, who sent me the insects for 
determination. He has described the gall, and given Hartig's diagnosis 
from a copy which I sent him, at p. 46 of Vol. ii. of this Magazine. 
Aulax Brandtii, Eatz. 
Black ; antennsB of the ^ testaceous, the two first joints and the 
last black ; of the $ fuscous, paler at the tips, the scape black. Sides 
of the thorax aciculated. Legs ferruginous ; coxse and the tips of the 
tarsi black. S ? • I^ong. 1 lin.

I have no specimens, but admit the species as British on the 
authority of "Westwood, Eose Insects, in Gardener's Magazine of Bo- 
tany, 1850, "Vol. i., p. 193, &c. The insects named A. Brandtii by 
Forster, in Mr. Walker's collection, do not answer to Hartig's diagnosis 
given above, and are probably of the genus Synergus. They appear to 
be identical with Cynips rosce spinosissimce, Inchbald, Zoologist, xix., 
p. 7824 — which is not to be confounded with Bhodites spinosissimce, 
Giraud, Yerh. d. Zool. bot. GeseUsch. in Wien, 1859, p. 367. The 
latter inhabits small red galls armed with several spinous projections ; 
the galls described by Mr. Inchbald are smooth. Giraud's insect is 
doubtless British, as I have several times found the galls, but failed to 
obtain from them anything but a Synergus. Aulax Brandtii is a para- 
site of Bhodites rosce, thus connecting by its habits the present with the 
following genus. 
ii. Disc of the mesothorax coriaceous, obscurely shining. 
Aulax glechomatis, Hart. 
Black ; the 14-jointed antennae and legs chestnut-red ; coxse and 
base of femora obscure ; antennsD with the two basal joints black, but 
paler at the apex ; wings hyaline, with blackish nervures ; areolet 
wanting. Medial lobe of the mesothorax with two anterior longitudinal 
furrows, obsolete before the middle. Scutellum rugose. Base of the 
2nd segment narrowly ferruginous.
