Gall type #8
Russo (2021) Page 150, Plate 215; Page 151, Plate 216. [Vase Gall Wasp, Heteroecus sp. B; Rosy Tear Gall Wasp Heteroecus sp. C]
On dorsal or ventral surface of leaf, on midrib vein, up to 6mm tall.
With or without short hairs. Or are these two separate species?
Russo (2021) lists these as two separate species (sp. B. with short hairs, on dorsal surface, and with truncated tip; sp. C with
fewer hairs, on ventral surface, and without truncated tip).
Have seen on Quercus chrysolepis.
