Gallformers ID Notes

A small, irregular, apparently polythalamous stem swelling on Quercus laceyi. This gall is likely the agamic generation of the wasp that induces a midrib swelling in the spring, given that it is abundant on the same host tree on which that gall was abundant, and because it matches other agamic galls known from Kinsey's Neuroterus quercicola complex, like Neuroterus washingtonensis.
