Abstract

A new species of oak gallwasp, Andricus quercuslaurinus Melika & Pujade-Villar, is described from Mexico. Alternate asexual and sexual generations are known to induce galls on Quercus laurina. Data on the diagnosis, distribution and biology of the new species is given. It appears to be a serious pest of Q. laurina in some parts of Mexico.
