What is Femuros (Cynipidae: Cynipini)?

The North American oak gall wasp genus Femuros Kinsey is revised after its re-establishment in 2015. Morphological evidence suggests that only 3 species described by Kinsey belong to this genus: F. repandae Kinsey, F. ocri Kinsey, and F. ruidum Kinsey. The rest of the species are transferred to th...

description The North American oak gall wasp genus Femuros Kinsey is revised after its re-establishment in 2015. Morphological evidence suggests that only 3 species described by Kinsey belong to this genus: F. repandae Kinsey, F. ocri Kinsey, and F. ruidum Kinsey. The rest of the species are transferred to the genus Andricus Hartig: A. geniale (Kinsey) comb. rev., A. integrum (Kinsey) comb. rev., A. lusum (Kinsey) comb. rev., and A. perfectum (Kinsey) comb. rev. A new species with slightly swollen femora but without an apical lobe and without internal tibial carina is described: A. calvoi sp. nov. We provide descriptions, redescriptions, diagnoses, keys to species, and information on biology, phenology, and distribution.
