Thick-walled, particularly the distal end, covered with heavy
tawny pubescence. (21).
20. Thinner walled, pubescence very short, puberulent. 21.
20. Very smooth. (22).
21. Depressed (not over 3 mm. high) with column extending through
center of chamber. (23).
21. Globular, 4-5 mm. high. (24).
21. Definitely balloon-shape. (25).
22. Base embedded in socket. 23.
22. Base not embedded in socket. 24.
23. Round-conic at tip. Caryomyia tubicola. (26).
23. Tapering to point, horn-like. (27).
24. Small gall, 2-2½ mm. high, with flaring base, attached by minute
pedicel at center. (28).
24. Large gall, 5-6 mm. long, gradually constricted proximally to very
narrow neck at point of attachment. (29).
25. Distal face with fovea containing a central nipple. Leaf not
projecting on side opposite gall. (30).
25. Distal face with fovea, leading into central pore; no central
nipple. Prominent convexity of leaf on side opposite the gall.
(31).
25. Distal face flaring out at edge into radiate bracts; these
sometimes strongly incurved. (32).
ERIOPHYIDÆ.
1. =Eriophyes?= sp. =Cecidium= nov.
Small galls in the axils of the lateral veins of the leaflets. Above
marked by a light colored angular area 1-1½ mm. dia. Below a small mass
of tissue (the gall proper) fills the angle, covered by a fine close
pubescence. Chamber within of small diameter, irregular in shape. The
characteristic mites were definitely observed. They are white in color.
On some leaflets every angle made by the mid-vein branching into the
lateral ones was occupied by a gall. On _H. cordiformis_, in Athens
County, Ohio, August.
Type specimens at Ohio State University.
2. =Eriophyes?= sp.
Leaf edge gall; edge inrolled involving little more than the teeth.
Variable in length from .5-2 cm. or longer, 1 mm.-2 mm. thick. Outer
surface of affected area finely roughened; color of under side of the
leaf. Thompson states that mites live within the fold. His report is
the first one on this gall. Species of hickory on which specimens were
found not determined.
Thompson, Illus. Cat. Am. Ins. Galls. 1915. p. 57, pl. 10, Fig. 260.
ITONIDIDÆ.

“Irregular swelling in the husk produced by the reddish
larvæ. Reference to Caryomyia provisional.” Felt. “Contain
thick walled cells. On Carya (Hicoria) alba.” Jarvis.

“Rounded, irregular, hard swelling on the under side of the hickory
leaf, on the mid-rib near the base of the leaf about half an inch long.
