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