PREFACE

The Enjoyment of Music is a ­classic—­it’s been around for more than half a century.
Its contents and pedagogical approach have been constantly updated to offer an
exceptionally appealing listening repertory and the latest scholarship, integrated
with unparalleled media resources every step of the way.
There is much that is new about this 12th edition. First, the book, while
chronological by historical eras, is modular, with short chapters containing one
or, at most, two works. These make for easier reading and will help you master
the material more quickly. And the language aims to be direct and engaging, with
comments focused toward you, the student.
Also new to this edition are Your Turn to Explore boxes at the end of each
chapter, encouraging you to explore a work, genre, or style’s relevance across his-
torical, popular, and worldwide traditions; Encounter boxes that introduce a selec-
tion from n ­ on-­Western, popular, or traditional music; and Interface boxes that
make connections between music and other subjects you may be studying. You’ll
see these items described below, along with
the other main features in the text and
online. Understanding all these resources
will greatly enhance your listening, help Chapter 50
with study skills, and improve performance
in class.

Stravinsky’s musical style evolved throughout his
career, from the post-Impressionism of The Firebird and The Rite of Spring, Introduction

The most innovative and influential element of The Rite of Spring is the ener-
getic interaction between rhythm and meter. In some scenes, a steady pulse is set
up, only to serve as a backdrop for unpredictable accents or melodic entrances. In
other passages, the concept of a regular metric pulse is totally abandoned as down-
beats occur seemingly at random. With this ballet, Stravinsky freed Western music
from the traditional constraints of metric regularity.

About the Listening Guides


The Listening Guides (LGs) are an essential feature of the book; follow along
with them as you listen to the recordings. These guides will enhance your knowl-
edge and appreciation of each piece. Interactive LGs (iLGs) and InQuizitive learn-
ing activities are available online and are compatible with tablets and mobiles.
1. The total duration of the piece is given in the bar at the top, at the right; some
LGs will include the video icon (you can watch a performance online) as well
as headphone icon.
2. The composer and title of each piece is followed by some basic information
about the work, including its date and genre.
3. The “What to Listen For” box focuses your listening by drawing your atten-
tion to each musical element. These elements are ­color-­coded to match chap-
ter topics in Part 1 (for example, “Melody” is pink, as is Chapter 1, “Melody:
Musical Line”).

are characteristic for each species. The Nematus larvae that inhabit
galls possess all the characteristics of those that feed externally. As
a rule the skin of the larva is naked and free from hair, but it is often
minutely tuberculate, and in a few species it is armed with
remarkable forked spines. These spines may exist during part of the
larval life, and completely disappear at one of the moults. The
creatures are as a rule very sluggish, and move about much less
than Lepidopterous larvae; many of them, when alarmed, have the
power of exuding a disagreeable liquid, either from the mouth or
from pores in the skin; in the latter case it may be sent as a sort of
spray to some little distance from the body. This operation is said to
be very efficacious as a means of protecting the larvae from the
attacks of parasitic flies that are desirous of laying eggs in their
bodies. One peculiarity as to their colour has attracted the attention
of Réaumur and subsequent naturalists, namely, that in the case of
many species a great change takes place in the colour during the life
of the larva, and more especially at the period of the last moult. The
change to the pupal state usually takes place in a cocoon, and some
species have the peculiar habit of forming a double cocoon, the
outer one being hard and coarse, while the inner is beautifully
delicate. The cocoon is sometimes formed in the earth, and in that
case it may be to a large extent composed of earthy matter. The
Insect frequently remains a long time in its cocoon before emerging
as a perfect Insect; however long this time may be, it is nearly all of it
passed in the larval state; when the Insect does change to a pupa it
speedily thereafter emerges as a perfect Insect. In the pupa the
parts of the imago may be seen enveloped in a very delicate,
transparent skin.

In Brazil Dielocerus ellisii, a sawfly allied to Hylotoma, constructs a


nest in which the cocoons of many specimens are crowded together,
being packed side by side like the cells in the comb of the bee, while
the whole mass is protected by a thick outer wall. It is not known in
what manner this communal work is carried out, but it is interesting
to note that the cocoons assume to a considerable extent the
hexagonal form of the cells in the comb of the bee. Some doubt was
expressed as to the interpretation put on this structure by Curtis, but
his observations have been confirmed by Smith and Peckholt.

Several species of sawflies are known to be very injurious to crops.


One of these—the sawfly of the turnip, Athalia spinarum (centifoliae
Panz.)—sometimes commits excessive depredations on the turnip
crops in this country as well as on the continent of Europe; its life-
history and anatomy were described by Newport in an essay
published by the Entomological Society in 1838. The eggs, it
appears, are laid singly at the edges of the leaves in the month of
May, as many as 200 or 300 being deposited by one female; as the
parent flies are usually gregarious, appearing in large numbers in
fields of turnips, it is not difficult to form an idea of the serious nature
of their depredations. The egg grows very considerably; the
development of the embryo is rapid, occupying, even in unfavourable
weather, only seven or eight days, while in quite congenial
circumstances it is probable that the eggs may hatch about the
fourth day after their deposition. The young grub immediately begins
to feed, and in about five days changes its skin for the first time; it
repeats this operation twice at similar or slightly longer intervals, the
third moult thus occurring when the larva is three or four weeks old; it
is then that the larva begins to be most destructive. Sunshine and
warm weather are very favourable to it, and under their influence it
grows so rapidly that in a few days a field may be almost completely
stripped of its foliage. This larva is of a sooty black colour, and will
live on other Cruciferous plants quite as well as on the turnip. When
full grown it buries itself to a slight depth under the surface of the
earth, and forms an oval cocoon of a firm texture, and with many
particles of earth closely adherent to it. The perfect fly emerges
towards the end of July, and a second brood will be produced in the
same season if circumstances are favourable; in that case the
resulting larvae enter the ground for the formation of their cocoons in
September or October, and pass the winter in their cocoons, but still
in the larval state; changing to pupae in the following spring, and
appearing as perfect Insects in May. From this account it appears
not improbable that the offspring of a single female existing in the
April of one year may amount by the following May—three
generations having been passed through in the interval—to as many
as 27,000,000 larvae. Fortunately the creatures are, as Frauenfeld
observed, destroyed in very large numbers by a parasitic fungus and
by a Nematode (Filaria).

We have, earlier in the chapter, alluded to the fact that the


phenomena of parthenogenesis prevail somewhat extensively
among sawflies. It is the rule in the family that males are very much
less numerous than females, and there are some species of which
no males have been discovered. This would not be of itself certain
evidence of the occurrence of parthenogenesis, but this has been
placed beyond doubt by taking females bred in confinement,
obtaining unfertilised eggs from them, and rearing the larvae
produced from the eggs. This has been done by numerous
observers with curious results. In many cases the parthenogenetic
progeny, or a portion of it, dies without attaining full maturity. This
may or may not be due to constitutional weakness arising from the
parthenogenetic state. Cameron, who has made extensive
observations on this subject, thinks that the parthenogenesis does
involve constitutional weakness, fewer of the parthenogenetic young
reaching maturity. This he suggests may be compensated for—when
the parthenogenetic progeny is all of the female sex—by the fact that
all those that grow up are producers of eggs. In many cases the
parthenogenetic young of Tenthredinidae are of the male sex, and
sometimes the abnormal progeny is of both sexes. In the case of
one species—the common currant sawfly, Nematus ribesii—the
parthenogenetic progeny is nearly, but not quite, always, entirely of
the male sex; this has been ascertained again and again, and it is
impossible in these cases to suggest any advantage to the species
to compensate for constitutional parthenogenetic weakness. On the
whole, it appears most probable that the parthenogenesis, and the
special sex produced by it, whether male or female, are due to
physiological conditions of which we know little, and that the species
continue in spite of the parthenogenesis, rather than profit by it. It is
worthy of remark that one of the species in which parthenogenesis
with production of males occurs—Nematus ribesii—is perhaps the
most abundant of sawflies.
Although many kinds of Insects display the greatest solicitude and
ingenuity in providing proper receptacles for their eggs, and in
storing food for the young that will be produced, there are extremely
few that display any further interest in their descendants; probably,
indeed, the majority of Insects die before the eggs are hatched, one
generation never seeing the individuals of another. It is therefore
interesting to find that a fairly well authenticated case of maternal
attachment, such as we have previously alluded to as occurring in
earwigs, has been recorded in Perga lewisii, an Australian sawfly of
the sub-family Cimbicides. The mother, having deposited about
eighty eggs on the leaf of a Eucalyptus, remains with them until they
hatch, after which she sits over her brood with outstretched legs, and
with admirable perseverance protects them, so far as she is able,
from the attacks of parasites and other enemies; she quite refuses to
be driven away from her charges. Mr. Lewis, to whom we are
indebted for this account,[427] states that the sawfly does not
recognise her own special brood, but will give equal attention to
another brood if she be transferred thereto; and he adds that many
of the batches of larvae were destitute of any maternal guardian.

There are about 2000 species of sawflies known. A large majority of


them are found in the European and North American regions; still, a
good many are known to live in South America, and Perga—one of
the genera of the family containing many species of large size—is
peculiar to the Australian region. Although the family includes so
many species, very few anomalies of structure have been detected
in it; one species, Pompholyx dimorpha Freymuth, is described as
being apterous in the female, and as having the thorax curiously
modified in its form. There are no very small Insects in the family,
and none over the middle size. Nearly 400 species have been
detected in Britain; this number could certainly be increased by
persevering researches. The palaeontological record has hitherto
given only a very meagre evidence about sawflies. Several species
have been preserved in amber, and three or four are known from
Tertiary strata in Europe and North America.
CHAPTER XXIII

HYMENOPTERA PETIOLATA–PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA–CYNIPIDAE OR


GALL-FLIES–PROCTOTRYPIDAE–CHALCIDIDAE–ICHNEUMONIDAE–
BRACONIDAE–STEPHANIDAE–MEGALYRIDAE–EVANIIDAE–PELECINIDAE–
TRIGONALIDAE.

We now pass to the consideration of the Hymenoptera of the sub-


Order Petiolata, or Apocrita, as they are styled by Brauer. We should
make use of the term Petioliventres, for it contrasts naturally by its
termination with Sessiliventres, were it not that the word is so
uncouth that we think it better to adopt the shorter and more
euphonious expression, Petiolata.

The members of this sub-Order, without exception, have the hind


body connected with the thorax by means of a deep constriction, so
that the base of the abdomen (Fig. 336, B, b) is very narrow; the
articulation between the two parts is effected by means of a complex
joint allowing great play, and facilitating the operations of boring and
stinging, processes that are of extreme importance in the economy
of the great majority of the species. The petiole is sometimes
extremely short, but it may be so long that it appears like a stalk, at
whose extremity is borne the remaining part of the abdomen (Fig.
369). When the petiole is very short the abdomen reposes close to
the back of the thorax (Fig. 331, C), and in this case the abdomen is
usually described as sessile; while, when it is evidently stalked, it is
said to be petiolate. These terms are, however, unsuitable, as the
words sessile and petiolate should be reserved for the conditions
characteristic of the two sub-Orders. We shall therefore use the
terms pseudo-sessile and pedicellate for the two conditions of the
Petiolata.

The Hymenoptera Petiolata comprises an enormous majority of the


Order. Although it includes many of the most interesting and
important of Insects, its classification is but little advanced, for a
great many of the forms are still rare or unknown. Three series may
be adopted for the purposes of nomenclature.

1. Parasitica.—Trochanters of two pieces, female with an ovipositor.

2. Tubulifera.—Trochanters undivided; abdomen consisting of only


three, four, or five visible segments.

3. Aculeata.—Trochanters undivided; abdomen consisting of six or


seven visible segments; female furnished with a retractile sting.

In the absence of any clear distinction between sting and ovipositor,


these groups are merely conventional. The character furnished by
the trochanters is unfortunately subject to some exceptions, there
being a few parasitic forms in which the trochanters are not divided,
and a few aculeates in which the reverse is more or less distinctly
the case; moreover, the division, when it exists, is in some cases
obscure, and the two pieces are of unequal size. Ratzeburg calls the
upper division, which is frequently much larger than the other, the
trochanter, and the lower division the apophysis. There is much
reason for believing that the apophysis is really merely a secondary
division of the femur. The Tubulifera are a comparatively small
group, and will probably be merged in one of the other two, when the
anatomy and morphology of the abdomen have been more
thoroughly elucidated.

the two divisions of the trochanter; c, femur. (For monotrochous
trochanter see Fig. 335, A, c.)
Hymenoptera Parasitica or Terebrantia.

This is one of the most extensive divisions of the class Insecta.


There can be little doubt that it contains 200,000 species, and
possibly the number may be very much greater than this. It is,
however, one of the most neglected of the great groups of Insects,
though it is perhaps of greater economic importance to mankind than
any other.

Insects derive their sustenance primarily from the vegetable


kingdom. So great and rapid are the powers of assimilation of the
Insect, so prodigious its capacity for multiplication, that the Mammal
would not be able to compete with it were it not that the great horde
of six-legged creatures has divided itself into two armies, one of
which destroys the other. The parasitic Hymenoptera are chiefly
occupied in destroying the tribes of vegetarian Insects; the parasites
do this by the simple and efficient device of dwelling in the bodies of
their hosts and appropriating the nutriment the latter take in. The
parasites do not, as a rule, eat the structures of their host,—many of
them, indeed, have no organs that would enable them to do this,—
but they absorb the vegetable juices that, in a more or less altered
state, form the lymph or so-called blood of the host. The host could
perhaps starve out his enemies by a judicious system of abstention
from food; instead, however, of doing this, he adopts the suicidal
policy of persistent eating, and as the result of his exertions,
furnishes sufficient food to his parasites, and then dies himself,
indirectly starved. Ratzeburg considers that the traditional view that
the larvae of parasitic Hymenoptera live by eating the fat-body of
their host is erroneous. They imbibe, he considers, the liquid that fills
the body of the parasitised Insect.[428]

The wide prevalence of Insect parasitism is appreciated only by


entomologists. The destructive winter moth—Cheimatobia brumata
—is known to be subject to the attacks of sixty-three species of
Hymenopterous parasites. So abundant are these latter that late in
the autumn it is not infrequently the case that the majority of
caterpillars contain these destroyers. Although Lepidoptera are very
favourite objects with parasitic Hymenoptera, yet other Insects are
also pertinaciously attacked; there is quite a host of Insect creatures
that obtain their sustenance by living inside the tiny Aphididae, or
"green-flies," that so much annoy the gardener. A still larger number
of parasites attack eggs of Insects, one or more individuals finding
sufficient sustenance for growth and development inside another
Insect's egg. As Insects have attacked Insects, so have parasites
attacked parasites, and the phenomena called hyperparasitism have
been developed. These cases of secondary parasitism, in which
another species attacks a primary parasite, are extremely numerous.
It is also pretty certain that tertiary parasitism occurs, and Riley is of
opinion that even quaternary destruction is not outside the range of
probability.

The physiological problems connected with Insect parasitism are of


great interest to the entomologist; the modes of nutrition and
respiration of these encaged creatures could not fail to be most
instructive were we fully acquainted with them. It is obvious that
when an Insect-egg is laid inside another Insect's egg, and the
parasite has to undergo the whole of its growth therein, it is in the
strangest condition as regards nutrition. It is unnecessary for the
intruded egg to have yolk of its own; moreover, the embryonic mode
of nutrition may be continued during what would, with other Insects,
be the larval period. And it seems to be the case that both these
conditions are actually met with in the lives of egg-parasites. The
embryology and post-embryonic development of parasitic
Hymenoptera have already been ascertained to be of the most
extraordinary nature. Great variety, however, will no doubt be found
to exist, as will be readily understood if we tabulate the conditions of
the early life of various parasitic Hymenoptera.

1. The egg may be laid outside a larva, and the embryonic and larval
developments may both be passed on the exterior.
2. The egg may be laid and the embryonic development passed
through, outside the host, but the parasite on hatching may enter the
host, so that the post-embryonic development is passed in the lymph
of the host.

3. The egg may be laid inside the host, both embryonic and post-
embryonic developments being gone through in the fluids of the
host.

4. The egg may be laid inside another egg, the embryonic and post-
embryonic developments being passed therein.

We shall find that all these conditions exist in the Insects we are
about to consider.

We shall treat the series as composed of ten families; but we must


remind the student that this great subject is still in a very
unadvanced state; the combined efforts of generations of naturalists
will be required to perfect it. Of the ten families five are
comparatively insignificant in number of species. Many of the
Cynipidae are not parasitic in habits, but live in galls. After what we
have said as to the mode of nutrition of parasites it will be
understood that the physiological conditions of life may not be so
different in a gall-dweller and a parasite as would at first be
supposed; and it is perhaps not a matter for much surprise that good
characters cannot be found to separate the gallicolous from the
parasitic forms.

Fam. I. Cynipidae—Gall-flies.

Wings with very few cells, with no dark patch (stigma) on the
anterior margin; pronotum fixed to the mesonotum, and at each
side extending back to the point of insertion of the front wing.
Antennae not elbowed but straight, composed of a moderate
number (12-15) of joints. Early stages passed either in galls or
as parasites in the bodies of other Insects.

Fig. 346.—Neuroterus lenticularis. Britain.

The Cynipidae are always small, frequently minute, Insects; usually


black or pitchy in colour. The simple structure of the antennae and
the number of their joints are of importance as an aid in identifying a
Cynipid. The mesonotum is usually remarkably convex, and has,
behind, a prominent scutellum, which more or less overhangs the
small metanotum and the median segment; these are perpendicular
in their direction; the sculpture of these posterior parts of the alitrunk
is usually deep and remarkable. The abdomen has usually only a
short petiole, so as to be pseudo-sessile; but there are some genera
in which this part is rather long. The abdomen is generally so very
much changed in outer form that its structure is not easily
understood. The visible portion is frequently in larger part made up of
the greatly enlarged dorsal plate of the second or third segment, or
of both. These large plates are really chiefly composed of free flaps,
and on lifting them up the large ventral plates are disclosed, although
these appeared previously to be nearly or quite absent. In the female
there is a very slender ovipositor, of which only a small part
protrudes, although the organ is really elongate; it is drawn into the
abdomen by means of a peculiar series of structures, the modified
terminal segments to which it is attached being folded over into the
interior of the body in such a way that the posterior part becomes
situated anteriorly. In conformity with this arrangement, the ovipositor
is bent double on itself, the anterior and the middle portions of the
borer being carried into the body, leaving only a small part projecting
beyond the extremity. The Cynipid ovipositor is an instrument of
much delicacy, and is capable of a great deal of movement; it is
usually serrate just at the tip, and although it looks so very different
from the cutting apparatus of the sawflies (Fig. 344), it seems that it
is really composed of pieces similar in their origin to those of the
Tenthredinidae.

Fig. 347.—Ovipositor of Neuroterus laeviusculus. (After Adler.) a, a,


The ovipositor partially coiled; b, extremity of posterior plate; c, c,
muscles.

The wings frequently bear fine hairs; the paucity of nervures and the
absence of the "stigma" are of importance in the definition of the
family. The most important of the cells is one called the radial cell,
situate just beyond the middle of the front part of the wing.

We cannot enter into a consideration of the classification of the


family, as authorities are not agreed on the subject.[429] As regards
their habits Cynipidae are, however, of three different kinds: (1) the
true gall-flies, or Psenides, which lay an egg or eggs in the tissues of
a growing plant, in the interior of which the larva lives after it is
hatched; this mode of life may or may not, according to the species,
be accompanied by formation of a peculiar growth called a gall: (2)
Inquilines,[430] or guest-flies; these lay their eggs in the galls formed
by the gall-makers subsequent to the growth of the galls, of which
they obtain the benefit: (3) Parasites; these live, like most
Ichneumon-flies, in the interior of the bodies of other living Insects;
they prey on a considerable variety of Insects, but chiefly, it is
believed, on Aphididae, or on Dipterous larvae. These parasitic flies
belong to the sub-family Figitides.

A great deal of discussion has occurred relative to the nature and


origin of galls, and many points still remain obscure. Considerable
light has been thrown on the subject by the direct observations of
modern naturalists. Previous to Malpighi, who wrote on the subject
two hundred years ago, it was supposed that galls were entirely
vegetable productions, and that the maggots found in them were due
to spontaneous generation, it having been an article of belief in the
Middle Ages that maggots in general arose from the various organic
substances in which they were found, by means of the hypothetical
process called, as we have said, spontaneous generation. Malpighi
was aware of the unsatisfactory nature of such a belief, and having
found by observation that galls arose from the punctures of Insects,
he came to the further conclusion that the growth of the gall was due
to the injection by the Insect into the plant of a fluid he termed Ichor,
which had, he considered, the effect of producing a swelling in the
plant, something in the same way as the sting of a bee or wasp
produces a swelling in an animal. Réaumur also made observations
on the gall-Insects, and came to the conclusion that the latter part of
Malpighi's views was erroneous, and that the swelling was not due to
any fluid, but simply to irritation caused by the prick; this irritation
being kept up by the egg that was deposited and by the subsequent
development of the larva. Observations since the time of Réaumur
have shown that the matter is not quite so simple as he supposed,
for though in the case of some galls the development of the gall
commences immediately after the introduction of the egg, yet in
other cases, as in the Cynipidae, it does not occur till some time
thereafter, being delayed even until after the hatching of the egg and
the commencement of the development of the larva. Galls are
originated by a great variety of Insects, as well as by mites, on many
plants; and it must not be concluded that a gall has been formed by
Hymenoptera even when these Insects are reared from one.
Extremely curious galls are formed by scale-Insects of the sub-family
Brachyscelides on Eucalyptus trees in Australia; they are much
inhabited by parasitic Hymenoptera, and Froggatt has obtained 100
specimens of a small black Chalcid from a single dead Brachyscelid.
[431] The exact manner in which many of these galls originate is not
yet sufficiently ascertained; but the subject of the galls resulting from
the actions of Cynipidae has received special attention, and we are
now able to form a conception of their nature. They are produced by
the meristematic or dividing tissue of plants, and frequently in the
cambium zone, which is caused to develop to an unusual extent, and
in a more or less abnormal manner, by the presence of the Insect.
The exact way in which a Cynipid affects the plant is perhaps not
conclusively settled, and may be found to differ in the cases of
different Cynipidae, but the view advocated by Adler and others, and
recently stated by Riley,[432] seems satisfactory; it is to the effect that
the activity of the larva probably affects the meristem, by means of a
secretion exuded by the larva. The mere presence of the egg does
not suffice to give rise to the gall, for the egg may be deposited
months before the gall begins to form. It is for the same reason
improbable that a fluid injected by the parent fly determines the gall's
growth. It is true that the parent fly does exude a liquid during the act
of oviposition, but this is believed to be merely of a lubricant nature,
and not to influence the development. It is said that the gall begins to
form in some cases before the larva is actually hatched, but the eggs
of some Hymenoptera exhibit remarkable phenomena of growth, so
that the egg, even during development of the embryo in it, may in
these cases, exert an influence on the meristem. It is to reactions
between the physiological processes of the meristem and the
growing Insect that the gall and its form are due.

The investigations of several recent naturalists lend support to the


view that only the meristematic cells of the plant can give rise to a
gall. Riley says that the rate of growth of the gall is dependent on the
activity of the meristem, galls on catkins developing the most quickly;
those forming on young leaves also grow with rapidity, while galls
formed on bark or roots may take months to attain their full size.

Fig. 348.—Bedeguar on rose, cut across to show the cells of the


larvae; in some of the cells larvae are seen.
It is a curious fact that Cynipid galls are formed chiefly on oaks, this
kind of tree supplying a surprising number and variety of galls. The
plants that furnish Cynipid galls in Europe are not numerous. A list of
them is given by Cameron.[433] Several species, of the genus
Rhodites, attack rose-bushes. One of the best known of our British
galls is the bedeguar, found in various parts of the country on both
wild and cultivated rose-bushes (Fig. 348), and caused by Rhodites
rosae (Fig. 349). This gall has the appearance of arising from a twig
or stem, but it is really a leaf gall. Pazlavsky[434] has described the
mode of formation of the bedeguar. The female Rhodites in the
spring selects a rose-bud—not a flower-bud—that should produce a
twig and leaves, and pricks this bud in a systematic manner in three
places. The three spots of the bud pricked by the Insect are the three
undeveloped leaves that correspond to a complete cycle in the
phyllotaxis of the plant. The three rudiments do not develop into
leaves, but by a changed mode of growth give rise to the bedeguar.
Usually this gall, as shown in our figure, is of large size, and contains
numerous cells; but abortive specimens are not infrequently met
with; sometimes a small one is seated on a rose-leaf, and it is
thought that these are due to a failure on the part of the Insect to
complete the pricking operation. Cynipidae will not go through their
gall-making operations except under natural conditions. Giraud[435]
attempted to obtain oviposition, on gathered twigs of oak, from flies
in confinement; but, although he experimented with thousands of
specimens, they on no occasion laid their eggs in the fresh shoots
placed at their disposal, but discharged their eggs in little heaps,
without attention to the twigs. The same observer has also called
attention to the fact that after being deposited in a bud the eggs of
certain species of Cynips will remain dormant without producing, so
far as can be seen, any effect on the tree for a period of fully ten
months, but when the bud begins to develop and the egg hatches
then the gall grows.

The exact mode in which the egg is brought to the requisite spot in
the plant is still uncertain. The path traversed by the ovipositor in the
plant is sometimes of considerable length, and far from straight; in
some cases before it actually pierces the tissues, the organ is thrust
between scales or through fissures, so that the terebra, or boring
part of the ovipositor, when it reaches the minute seam of cambium,
is variously curved and flexed. Now as the canal in its interior is of
extreme tenuity, and frequently of great length, it must be a very
difficult matter for the egg to reach the tissue where it should
develop. The eggs of Cynipidae are very remarkable bodies; they
are very ductile, and consist of a head, and of a stalk that in some
cases is five or six times as long as the head, and is itself somewhat
enlarged at the opposite end. Some other Hymenoptera have also
stalked eggs of a similar kind (Fig. 357, A, egg of Leucospis). It has
been thought that this remarkable shape permits of the contents of
the egg being transferred for a time to the narrower parts, and thus
allows the broader portion of the egg to be temporarily compressed,
and the whole structure to be passed through a very narrow canal or
orifice. It is, however, very doubtful whether the egg really passes
along the canal of the borer. Hartig thought that it did so, and Riley
supports this view to a limited extent. Adler, however, is of a different
opinion, and considers that the egg travels in larger part outside the
terebra. It should be remembered that the ovipositor is really
composed of several appendages that are developed from the
outside of the body; thus the external orifice of the body is
morphologically at the base of the borer, the several parts of which
are in longitudinal apposition. Hence there is nothing that would
render the view of the egg leaving the ovipositor at the base
improbable, and Adler supposes that it actually does so, the thin end
being retained between the divisions of the terebra. Riley is of
opinion that the act of oviposition in these Insects follows no uniform
system. He has observed that in the case of Callirhytis clavula,
ovipositing in the buds of Quercus alba, the eggs are inserted by the
egg-stalk into the substance of the leaf, and that the egg-fluids are at
first gathered in the posterior end, which is not inserted. "The fluids
are then gradually absorbed from this exposed portion into the
inserted portion of the egg, and by the time the young leaves have
formed the exposed [parts of the] shells are empty, the thread-like
stalk has disappeared, and the egg-contents are all contained within
the leaf tissue." He has also observed that in Biorhiza nigra the
pedicel, or stalk, only is inserted in the embryonic leaf-tissue, and
that the enlarged portion or egg-body is at first external. The same
naturalist also records that in the case of a small inquiline species,
Ceroptres politus, the pedicel of the egg is very short, and in this
case the egg is thrust down into the puncture made by the borer, so
that the egg is entirely covered.

Some Cynipidae bore a large number of the channels for their eggs
before depositing any of the latter, and it would appear that it is the
rule that the boring of the channel is an act separate from that of
actual oviposition. Adler distinguishes three stages: (1) boring of the
canal; (2) the passage of the egg from the base of the ovipositor,
where the egg-stalk is pinched between the two spiculae and the
egg is pushed along the ovipositor; (3) after the point of the
ovipositor is withdrawn, the egg-body enters the pierced canal, and
is pushed forward by the ovipositor until it reaches the bottom.[436]

About fifty years ago Hartig reared large numbers of certain species
of gall-flies from their galls, obtaining from 28,000 galls of Cynips
disticha about 10,000 flies, and from galls of C. folii 3000 or 4000
examples of this species; he found that all the individuals were
females. His observations were subsequently abundantly confirmed
by other naturalists, among whom we may mention Frederick Smith
in our own country, who made in vain repeated attempts to obtain
males of the species of the genus Cynips. On one occasion he
collected in the South of England 4410 galls of C. kollari (at that time
called C. lignicola), and from these he obtained 1562 flies, all of
which were females. A second effort was attended with similar
results. Hartig, writing in 1843, after many years' experience, stated
that though he was acquainted with twenty-eight species of the
genus Cynips, he had not seen a male of any one of them. During
the course of these futile attempts it was, however, seen that a
possible source of fallacy existed in the fact that the Insects were
reared from collected galls; and these being similar to one another, it
was possible that the males might inhabit some different gall. Adler
endeavoured to put the questions thus raised to the test by means of
rearing females from galls, and then getting these females to
produce, parthenogenetically, galls on small oaks planted in pots,
and thus completely under control. He was quite successful in
carrying out his project, and in doing so he made a most
extraordinary discovery, viz. that the galls produced by these
parthenogenetic females on his potted oaks, were quite different
from the galls from which the flies themselves were reared, and
were, in fact, galls that gave rise to a fly that had been previously
considered a distinct species; and of this form both sexes were
produced. Adler's observations have been confirmed by other
naturalists, and thus the occurrence of alternation of generations,
one of the two generations being parthenogenetic, has been
thoroughly established in Cynipidae. We may mention one case as
illustrative. A gall-fly called Chilaspis lowii is produced from galls on
oak-leaves at Vienna at the end of April, both sexes occurring. The
female thereafter lays eggs on the ribs of the leaves of the same
kind of oak, and thus produces a different gall from that which
nourished herself. These galls fall off with the leaves in the autumn,
and in July or August of the following year a gall-fly is produced from
them. It is a different creature from the mother, and was previously
known to entomologists under the name of Chilaspis nitida. Only
females of it occur, and these parthenogenetic individuals lay their
eggs in the young buds of the oak that are already present in the
autumn, and in the following spring, when the buds open and the
leaves develop, those that have had an egg laid in them produce a
gall from which Chilaspis lowii emerges in April or May. In this case
therefore the cycle of the two generations extends over two years,
the generation that takes the greater part of the time for its
production consisting only of females. Adler's observations showed
that, though in some species this alternation of generations was
accompanied by parthenogenesis in one part of the cycle, yet in
other species this was not the case. He found, for instance, that
some gall-flies of the genus Aphilothrix produced a series of
generations the individuals of which were similar to one another, and
were all females and parthenogenetic. In some species of the old
genus Cynips no males are even yet known to occur. A very curious
observation was made by the American, Walsh, viz. that of galls
gathered by him quite similar to one another, some produced
speedily a number of both sexes of Cynips spongifica, while much
later on in the season the remainder of the galls gave rise to females
only of an Insect called Cynips aciculata. It is believed that the galls
gathered by Walsh[437] were really all one species; so that parts of
the same generation emerge at different times and in two distinct
forms, one of them parthenogenetic, the other consisting of two
sexes. It has, however, been suggested that Cynips spongifica and
C. aciculata may be two distinct species, producing quite similar
galls.

Turning now to the questions connected with inquiline or guest-flies,


we may commence with drawing attention to the great practical
difficulties that surround the investigation of this subject. If we open a
number of specimens of any kind of gall it is probable that several
kinds of larvae will be found. In Fig. 350 we represent four kinds of
larvae that were taken out of a few bedeguar galls gathered on one
day in a lane near Cambridge. It is pretty certain that No. 1 in this
figure represents the larva of Rhodites rosae, and that Nos. 2 and 3
are larvae of inquilines, possibly of Synergus, or of a parasite; while
No. 4, which was engaged in feeding on No. 3 in the position shown,
is possibly a Chalcid of the genus Monodontomerus, or may be
Callimome bedeguaris. It is clear that, as we cannot ascertain what
is inside a gall without opening it, and thereby killing the tenants, it is
a most difficult matter to identify the larvae; the only safe method is
that of observation of the act of oviposition; this may be
supplemented by rearing the flies from galls, so as to ascertain what
variety of flies are associated with each kind of gall. This last point
has been well attended to; but the number of cases in which
oviposition of inquiline gall-flies in the galls formed by the Psenides
has been ascertained by direct observation is still very small; they
are, however, sufficient to show that the inquilines deposit their eggs
only after the galls are formed.

Bassett recorded the first case of the kind in connexion with a North
American species, Cynips (Ceroptres) quercus-arbos Fitch. He says:
"On the first of June galls on Quercus ilicifolia had reached their full
size, but were still tender, quite like the young shoots of which they
formed part. Examining them on that day, I discovered on them two
gall-flies, which I succeeded in taking. They were females, and the
ovipositor of each was inserted into the gall so deeply that they could
not readily free themselves, and they were removed by force."

The great resemblance of the inquiline gall-fly to the fly that makes
the gall both dwell in, has been several times noticed by Osten
Sacken, who says "one of the most curious circumstances
connected with the history of two North American blackberry galls is,
that besides the Diastrophus, which apparently is the genuine
originator of the gall, they produce another gall-fly, no doubt an
inquiline, belonging to the genus Aulax, and showing the most
striking resemblance in size, colouring, and sculpture to the
Diastrophus, their companion. The one is the very counterpart of the
other, hardly showing any differences, except the strictly generic
characters! This seems to be one of those curious instances, so
frequent in entomology, of the resemblance between parasites and
their hosts! By rearing a considerable number of galls of D.
nebulosus I obtained this species as well as its parasite almost in
equal numbers. By cutting some of the galls open I ascertained that
a single specimen of the gall frequently contained both species, thus
setting aside a possible doubt whether these Insects are not
produced by two different, although closely similar galls."[438]

The substance of which galls are composed, or rather, perhaps, a


juice they afford, is apparently a most suitable pabulum for the
support of Insect life, and is eagerly sought after by a variety of
Insects; hence by collecting galls in large quantities many species of
Insects may be reared from them; indeed by this means as many as
thirty different kinds of Insects, and belonging to all, or nearly all, the
Orders, have been obtained from a single species of gall. Some galls
are sought by birds, which open them and extract their tenants, even
in cases where it might be supposed that the nauseous flavour of the
galls would forbid such proceedings.

Not more than 500 species of Psenides and Inquiline Cynipidae are
known from all parts of the world; and of described Parasitic
Cynipidae there are only about 150 species. The British forms have
recently been treated by Cameron in the work we have already
several times referred to.[439]

A few Cynipidae have been found in amber; and remains of


members of the family, as well as some galls, are said by Scudder to
have been found in the Tertiary strata at Florissant.
