Heterogony in Some Gall-Forming Cynipidae (Hymenoptera) with Notes on the Biology of Neuroterus saltatorius

Andricus kingi

Galls of L. dumosae (Fig. 1 e) [a misidentification; these were then-undescribed wasps] were collected at Thornton, San Joaquin County, May 11, 1967. Males and females emerging from them at the time were placed on 3 caged seedlings of Q. lobata. By September, galls of A. kingi had developed on the leaves of one of these trees (Fig. 1 f). L. dumosae also is known to occur on Q. douglasii and Q. garryana Douglas (Weld 1957b). A. kingi has been found on Q. douglasii and one would expect that it will eventually be found also on Q. garryana.
