Callirhytis quercifoliae (sexgen)

Andricus quercifoliae

Galls. Succulent, round gall on the leaves of Quercus catesbaei [laevis], with a loose, whitish kernel; constructed in the same manner as Dryophanta aquaticae, but much smaller in size. 

Bred from galls in May. The galls are rare, and the flies difficult to raise.
