On The Cynipidous Galls of Florida

Dryophanta cinereae n. sp.

Quercus cinerea [incana]

(The Upland-willow Oak Spangle Gall.)

Galls. — Small, semispherical galls, sessile on the under surface of the leaves; internally there is a loose kernel which moves freely about.

While the fly of this species might easily be confounded with those of the others, the gall easily separates it; it does not project above the upper surface of the leaf as do the other species. Very rare.
