A. (Callirhytis) reticulata n. sp.
Polythalamous galls on the midvein and near the base of small oak leaves from what is probably one of the dwarf varieties of Q. virens. Prominent on both surfaces, but more so on the underside. They are almost round and (dried specimens) one-fourth of an inch in diameter. The dry galls are exceedingly hard, and they bear a very close resemblance to those of A. cicatricula, though the scar or indentation invariably found in that species is wanting. The larval cells are not separable from the solid woody fibre around them, and they all radiate from a common centre.
My galls, collected by Mr. Howerton in New Mexico, have produced no males, but I do not look upon this as an agamous species.
