Though the writer has seen (with a few exceptions) the types herewith
detailed an amply sufficient number of times to establish them as
types, he does not claim infallibility, for the key he has worked
out to these types. It is hoped, however, that it, together with the
descriptions and illustrations will enable the student of the hickory
galls to become better acquainted with the members of the two groups
treated.
Britton and Brown’s Illustrated Flora Northern U. S. and Canada, (2nd
edition), New York, 1913, has been followed in the matter of plant
nomenclature.
The following two galls whose makers have been named by Felt have
probably not been seen by the writer. Felt’s descriptions are given.
They are not included in the key.
=Caryomyia thompsoni= Felt.
“Globose, thin-walled, long haired, melon-shaped, dia. 2-3 mm.”
See my number 23.
=Caryomyia antennata= Felt.
“Globose, thick-walled, yellowish green or brown. Dia. 4-5 mm.”
This description, as far as it goes, would indicate a similarity to
C. persicoides Beut.
Felt, Jour. Econ. Ent. 4:456. 1911.
KEY.
The itonid group of galls herewith presented can be distinguished with
one exception (No. 33) from the very common Phylloxera galls (Aphididæ)
by the fact that the latter forms which are sufficiently small to be
comparable in size to the itonids are intercalated in the leaf blade,
i. e. the gall extends more or less prominently from both sides of
the leaf. The itonids always give the appearance of an appendicular
structure attached to the leaf.
