Descriptions of new Cynipidous Galls and Gall-Wasps in the United States National Museum

Rhodites similis, new species.

An irregularly rounded, brown or brownish yellow, pithy gall on the smaller stems of an unknown wild rose. They vary greatly in size and shape, from a small pea-like form to a more or less globular or oblong shape, some of them being an inch or more in length. There is no consistency in their shape; some are perfectly round or oblong or of various irregular shapes.

Twenty-seven specimens, reared July 27, 1883, from galls collected by Mr. Lawrence Bruner at Point of Rocks, Wyoming.
