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.

| 7. | Blister gall, intercalated in the leaflet, projecting on both sides. |
| | Cecidomyia? sp. (33). |

| 9. | Conic gall generally with strongly recurved tip appearing as though |
| | lying on side, decumbent. (9). |

| 11. | Proximal half sub-globular. 12. |
| 12. | Galls smooth. 13. |
| 12. | Galls pubescent. 14. |
| 13. | Galls large, 4-7 mm. long. (12). |
| 13. | Galls small, 1½-4 mm. long. (13). |
| 14. | Trichomes very long coarse. (14). |
| 14. | Pubescence short, fine. (15.) |
| 15. | Galls attached by proximal pedicel embedded in leaf, as seen in a |
| | median vertical section. |
| 15. | Galls attached by structure extending from leaf into base of gall, |
| | which remains on leaf when gall falls. 20. |
| 16. | Walls thick, soft. 17. |
| 16. | Walls thin, 18. |
| 17. | Galls smooth, depressed or with upward flaring walls forming a |
| | saucer or cup-shaped structure distal to the chamber. (16). |
| 17. | Gall globular, finely pubescent like that of a peach. (17). |
| 18. | Surface perfectly smooth, symmetrically sub-spherical galls. 19. |
| 18. | Surface minutely shagreen-roughened, gall asymmetric, one side |
| | prominently extended laterally. (18). |
| 19. | Small galls, 2½ mm. dia., nipple expanded and flattened resembling |
| | the end of a bottle. (19). |
| 19. | Larger gall, 3-4 mm. dia., nipple short, pointed. (20). |
| 20. | 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). |
