Amphibolips quercuscoelebs
Amphibolips quercuscoelebs is a species of gall wasp in the family Cynipidae. It induces galls on oak trees (Quercus spp.), specifically associated with the host species suggested by its specific epithet. Like other members of the genus Amphibolips, this species exhibits a complex life cycle with alternating sexual and asexual generations, though detailed documentation for this particular species remains limited. The species has been documented through a small number of observations, indicating it may be uncommon or underreported.
Callirhytis perdens
Ruptured Twig Gall Wasp
Callirhytis perdens is a gall wasp in the family Cynipidae that induces distinctive stem galls on several oak species in California. Unlike many gall wasps where larvae develop entirely within attached galls, this species exhibits a unique life history where mature larval capsules are expelled from fissures in the gall and complete development on the ground. The species was formerly classified under the genus Andricus. It is considered locally abundant within its restricted range.
