Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox Amphibolips quercusostensackenii is a species of gall wasp in the family Cynipidae.[1] It is found throughout eastern North America.

Description

This species induces globular galls on the leaves of members of the red oak group (Quercus sect. Lobatae). These galls are roughly 7 to 9 mm in diameter,[2] and contain a central filament-supported cell[3] where pupation occurs.

Life History

These galls develop in the spring. Adults are described to have emerged from the galls between 8 and 15 July in the Chicago area.[4]

Taxonomy

This species was originally placed in the genus Andricus. However, a 2002 review reclassified it to the closely related genus Amphibolips based on the morphology of the adult wasp.[5]
