Th mother cells produce from 2 to 5 daughter cells and these remain i groups that are easily recognizable. The elongated nuclei are found i contact with the .septating walls but not exactly opposite each othe In the Dipterous genus Neolasioptera this was the only form of ce division that occurred in the gall, but in the Lepidopterous genera was found only in a limited area of the abnormal Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cosens, A.
