New Species of North American Cynipidae (1900)

Andricus (Callirhytis) tuberosa n. sp.

Galls. — Woody, polythalamous, growing on Q. ilicifolia and reaching maturity in June. They are the young shoots of this oak, checked in their terminal growth, by the sting of the insect. They resemble the galls of A. scitulus B., but more closely those of A. tectus B. The largest are not more than 5/8 of an inch in length and 1/4 in diameter. They are quite rare.
