Cynips quercus punctata n. sp.
Quercus rubra
A smoothish, club-shaped, woody knot, four inches long, and an inch and a half in diameter at the upper and largest end, completely encircling a branch half an inch in diameter.
This gall was cut from a very young and thrifty oak, April 11th. The flies were then fully grown and began to appear in less than a week. No other galls were noticed at the time, but now (Oct.) there are several of this year's growth,--some larger and others much smaller than the one described. The new galls were fully grown the middle of June, but no larvae could be detected then. The larvae are now, however, well developed.
