Diplolepis bicolor
spiny rose gall wasp, spiny bud gall wasp
Diplolepis bicolor is a cynipid gall wasp that induces bud galls on wild roses (Rosa spp.) across North America. The species produces distinctive spiny galls measuring 10–12 mm in diameter on rose buds. It exhibits the typical cynipid life cycle with alternating sexual and parthenogenetic generations. The galls superficially resemble those of Diplolepis polita but can be distinguished by their location on buds rather than leaves.

Diplolepis californica
leafy bract gall wasp
Diplolepis californica is a cynipid gall wasp that induces distinctive club-shaped bud galls on wild roses (Rosa species) along the Pacific coast of North America. The species was originally described as Rhodites californicus by Beutenmüller in 1914 and later transferred to Diplolepis. Its galls are characterized by flat, leafy lobes projecting from the main gall body—structures that resemble aborted leaflets and distinguish this species from other rose gall wasps. Each gall contains multiple larval chambers, indicating communal development within a single gall structure.

Diplolepis gracilis
Diplolepis gracilis is a species of gall wasp in the family Diplolepididae, first described by Ashmead in 1897. Like other members of its genus, it induces the formation of galls on host plants, likely within the rose family (Rosaceae) given the genus's strong association with this plant group. The species is recorded from multiple provinces across Canada including Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario. As with most Diplolepis species, it exhibits a complex life cycle involving an alternation between sexual and parthenogenetic generations.

Diplolepis ignota
gall wasp
Diplolepis ignota is a gall wasp in the family Cynipidae that induces spherical, single-chambered galls on the leaves of wild rose species (Rosa). The galls serve as both shelter and food source for developing larvae. Multiple galls frequently coalesce into irregularly rounded clusters. Adults emerge from galls the summer following gall initiation. The species has been reported throughout most of the continental United States and in parts of central Canada.

Diplolepis polita
Spiny Leaf Gall Wasp
Diplolepis polita is a gall wasp in the family Cynipidae, first described by William Harris Ashmead in 1890. The species induces distinctive spherical, spiny galls on the leaves of wild roses, primarily Rosa acicularis and Rosa arkansana, in spring and early summer. Originally known only from western North America west of the Rocky Mountains, it has demonstrated host flexibility by colonizing the introduced domestic shrub rose Rosa rugosa in urban environments. This host shift provides insight into the vagility and host specificity of cynipid wasps.

Diplolepis rosae
Mossy Rose Gall Wasp, Rose Bedeguar Gall Wasp, Robin's Pincushion Gall Wasp
A gall-inducing wasp in the family Diplolepididae that forms distinctive mossy, pincushion-like galls on wild roses, primarily Rosa canina and Rosa arvensis. The species is notable for its predominantly parthenogenetic reproduction, with fewer than 5% males in most populations. Females lay up to 60 eggs in developing rose buds, inducing chemically-driven plant tissue distortion that creates the characteristic bedeguar gall. The wasp has been introduced to North America alongside cultivated roses.

Diplolepis rosaefolii
Diplolepis rosaefolii is a gall wasp in the family Cynipidae that induces distinctive lenticular (lens-shaped) galls on the leaves of rose plants across Canada. The species exhibits an alternation of generations life cycle typical of cynipid wasps, with a bisexual spring generation producing the visible galls and an agamic (asexual) winter generation of wingless females. In Ontario and Quebec, it is primarily associated with native Rosa acicularis, though populations have been documented on the cultivated hybrid rugosa shrub rose 'Thérèse Bugnet'. The galls support a diverse component community including multiple parasitoid wasp species and inquilines.

Diplolepis spinosa
many-spined twig gall wasp
Diplolepis spinosa is a cynipid gall wasp native to North America that induces large, conspicuous, multichambered stem galls on wild and domestic roses. The species has been documented on Rosa blanda, Rosa acicularis, and Rosa rugosa, and has recently become established on domestic roses in central Canada. Its galls are among the most visible in grassland habitats across the continent. The wasp exhibits complex gall development involving eggs deposited in slits between leaf primordia near bud tips, with larvae inducing separate chambers within spherical stem galls.

Disholandricus lasius
Disholandricus lasius is a cynipid gall wasp species that induces galls on oak hosts. Formerly classified in the genus Andricus, this species was reassigned to Disholandricus based on phylogenetic and morphological studies. Like other members of the Cynipidae family, the wasp manipulates host plant tissue to form a protective structure that houses and nourishes its developing larvae. The species exhibits the complex life cycle typical of oak gall wasps, involving both sexual and asexual generations that alternate between different plant structures or host species.

Disholcaspis eldoradensis
Honeydew Gall Wasp
Disholcaspis eldoradensis is a gall wasp in the family Cynipidae that induces distinctive galls on valley oak (Quercus lobata). The species is notable for producing sucrose-secreting galls that attract ant mutualists, particularly invasive Argentine ants, which defend the galls against parasitoids. This mutualism creates a complex trophic community involving multiple ant species, parasitoids, and other associated insects. The species exhibits variable ecological outcomes depending on local conditions, with ant defense benefits varying across years and gall characteristics influencing parasitism rates.

Disholcaspis quercusglobulus
Round Bullet Gall Wasp
Disholcaspis quercusglobulus, commonly known as the round bullet gall wasp, is a species of cynipid gall wasp that forms distinctive round, detachable galls on oak twigs. Unlike many gall wasps that affect leaves, this species targets twigs of white oak and related species. The species exhibits an unusual reproductive strategy: all galls produce only female wasps, which emerge in fall and immediately lay eggs in twigs to produce the next generation without males. This parthenogenetic life cycle has been documented across multiple Disholcaspis species.

Disholcaspis quercusmamma
oak rough bulletgall wasp
Disholcaspis quercusmamma, the oak rough bulletgall wasp, is a cynipid gall wasp that induces distinctive bullet-shaped galls on twigs of white oaks. The species exhibits an alternation of generations with sexual and asexual phases, each producing morphologically different galls. The fall bullet galls are large, conspicuous structures with a velvety surface and pointed apex, while spring galls are small and inconspicuous on leaf buds. This wasp possesses notably enlarged venom glands, with the venom reservoir occupying approximately one-third of abdominal volume, implicating venom compounds in gall induction.

Epichrysomallidae
Epichrysomallidae is a family of minute gall-forming wasps in the superfamily Chalcidoidea. Formerly classified as a subfamily of Pteromalidae, it was elevated to family rank based on molecular phylogenetic evidence showing closer relationships to other gall-forming chalcid wasps. Members are obligate associates of fig trees (Ficus), inducing galls in figs, on leaves, or on twigs. The family contains approximately 20 described genera distributed across tropical and subtropical regions.

Euderus
Euderus is a genus of chalcid wasps in the family Eulophidae, comprising approximately 77 species with cosmopolitan distribution. The genus is notable for including parasitoid species that manipulate host behavior, most prominently E. set, the "crypt-keeper wasp," which induces gall wasps to create head-plugged exit holes that facilitate parasitoid emergence. In North America alone, the genus contains 25 species arranged in five subgenera. Species exhibit striking metallic coloration ranging from olive green to turquoise to iridescent blue.

Eurytomidae
seed chalcids, eurytomid wasps
Eurytomidae is a family of chalcid wasps within the superfamily Chalcidoidea, comprising approximately 1,420 described species across 87 genera. Members exhibit diverse life histories: larvae are endophytic, developing within plant tissues (stems, seeds, or galls) as phytophages, parasitoids of other insects, or both. The family is cosmopolitan, occurring in virtually all terrestrial habitats. Some species are agricultural pests, notably the almond seed wasp (Eurytoma amygdali) and plum seed wasp (Eurytoma schreineri), while others serve as biocontrol agents. Phylogenomic studies have confirmed monophyly of the four recognized subfamilies (Buresiinae, Eurytominae, Heimbrinae, Rileyinae), though many large genera remain para- or polyphyletic.

Feron
oak gall wasps
Feron is a genus of oak gall wasps in the family Cynipidae, established by Alfred Kinsey in 1937 and re-established in 2023. These wasps induce galls on oak trees (Quercus species) and are primarily distributed in the Nearctic region. The genus has undergone taxonomic revision, with some species previously placed in Feron now classified under Andricus. Members of this genus are part of the diverse community of gall-forming insects associated with oaks.
