Striatoandricus
Striatoandricus is a genus of Neotropical gall wasps in the family Cynipidae, established by Pujade-Villar in 2020. The genus comprises approximately six described species, with four species transferred from the genus Andricus. Despite morphological similarities to Andricus, phylogenetic analyses indicate the two genera are not closely related. The genus name refers to the striations on the metasomal segments combined with its superficial resemblance to Andricus.
