Cynips q. succinipes n. sp.

The Bud-like Gall of the Live Oak

This gall seems to have been entirely overlooked by all observers; it is difficult to see why, for although not nearly so plentiful as the previously described species [Callirhytis quercusbatatoides], it is yet by no means rare and quite noticeable upon the ends of the twigs.

Gall.--Clusters of from five to twenty small galls crowded around a terminal twig or branch; globular or bud-like in form; externally yellowish-brown with a surface like buckskin, becoming black with age; internally hard and tough with a single kernel hard and smooth. Diameter from .10 to 0.2 inch.
