Field notes on gall-inhabiting cynipid wasps with descriptions of new species

ANDRICUS FLOCCI (Walsh)

The forest-insect collection has flies that emerged April 22, 24, 30. and May 2 and 5, 1915 from galls collected at Lyme. Conn., by A. B. Champlain and flies that emerged April 14— 16, 1915, from galls from Harrisburg, Pa. On April 15 William Mliddleton liberated some of the latter in a cage on a white oak tree and observed oviposition in one of the subapical buds. From the resulting gall he reared adults of both sexes on June 19 — a suggestion for further experimentation.
