Gall preserved, evidently from the skin tenthredinous.  Ant. 17 jd. (2 + 15) last joint double and very large & long. Abd. dull rufous, brownish with brown hairs on back, laterally & beneath white hairs.  Thorax dull umber brown above, with a double row of white hairs in the suture.  Origin of wings fulvous. Bifurcation pretty distinct. Scutel blackish, a little polished.  In a cell in the gall found a slightly hairy chalcid.? larva. head [[image - sketch of larva head]] no breast-bone.
