Dryophanta longicornis, n. sp.

Among the galls from which Andricus exiguus n. sp. and Neuroterus exiguus n. sp. were bred were three or four of an altogether different sort. They were moderate enlargements of the upper portion of very young and tender shoots, not at all prominent; and now that these shoots are dry and shrunken I am not able to identify them among the galls in the box. I did not separate them at the time, supposing them to be too immature for developing, and I could not have done so without injuring the other species. Of course I am not sure that the three large flies found in the box came from these galls, but the presumption is that they did so. At any rate, the flies are of an undescribed species, and their relation may be determined later.
