Loxaulus laeta Pujade-Villar, In Pujade-Villar et al. (2014c: 349)

Gall (Fig. 6c): Elongated cryptic swellings of the twigs located at the tips of the previous year's branches. The branches with galls are barely recognizable before the appearance of the adults. The surface of the vesicle is rough, colored like the bark. The larval chambers (1.5 x 1 mm) are dispersed inside the woody tissue.

Hosts: Quercus laeta (section Quercus).

Biology: Only the asexual generation is known. The galls were collected in February. Adults emerge in the same month. Possibly in January, there are also emergences of this species.

Distribution: Mexico (Mexico City); cited from Santa Fe in Pujade-Villar et al. (2014c).
