Burnettweldia
Burnettweldia is a genus of oak gall wasps (Cynipidae: Cynipini) established in 2021, containing five species distributed in the Nearctic region. Species were transferred from other genera or newly described based on morphological and molecular data. The genus is associated with oak hosts (Quercus), inducing galls on various plant tissues.
Disholandricus truckeensis
Disholandricus truckeensis is a species of oak cynipid gall wasp in the tribe Cynipini. The species was originally described by Ashmead in 1896 as Holcaspis truckeensis and was transferred to the new genus Disholandricus in 2021. It is one of four species in the genus, which was established based on morphological and molecular data. As a member of Cynipini, it induces galls on oak species (Quercus).
Feron tetyanae
Feron tetyanae is a cynipid gall wasp species described in 2023 by Melika. As a member of the family Cynipidae, it belongs to a group of wasps known for inducing plant galls during their reproductive cycle. The species is placed in the genus Feron, which contains gall wasps associated with oak hosts. The specific epithet honors Tetyana, likely recognizing a contributor to cynipid research.
Holocynips
Holocynips is a genus of oak gall wasps in the family Cynipidae, established by Kieffer in 1910. The genus occurs in the Nearctic region and contains species that induce galls on oak trees (Quercus). A 2023 description of H. illinoiensis prompted preliminary discussion on the coherence of the genus, suggesting taxonomic boundaries may require revision.
