Description of some new genera in the family Cynipidae

Trichoteras coquilletti sp. n.

Galls. — Small, brown, subopaque, globular galls, averaging from 6 to 8 mm. in diameter, and internally with a central kernel or larval cell held in place by radiating filaments. These galls were collected by Mr. D. W. Coquillett, at Los Angeles, Cal., from the upper surface of the leaves of an unknown oak, who forwarded them to the Department of Agriculture, where three specimens of the gall wasp were reared. Structurally and in general appearance the galls very closely resemble Dryophanta polita Bass., but the subapterous wasp is quite different from that species.
