Individual galls are ellipsoidal, 1.2 mm. high, projecting equally on upper and lower surfaces of the leaf, 0.8-0.9 mm. in diameter, bare above, pubescent below. Exit hole on upper surface.

Habitat. — Type material was collected on July 5, 1930, and June 27, 1933, at elevation of 2,000 feet on the trail to Signal Knob at north end of Three Top Mountain southeast of Strasburg, Va. Adults issued June 30-July 8. Galls were seen also 3 miles northwest of Vienna, Va. Prof. C. E. Crosby collected old galls at Kiverhead, N. Y., in September 1913.
