Andricus quercuscalifornicus is a parasitic species of gallwasp (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae, Cynipini).

Gall growth occurs twice annually, during late spring and mid summer.

The latter type of gall is induced by this type of wasp not on the leaves, but on the roots of the oak. On the buds of young oak twigs, one can often find the hard-shelled galls of Andricus kollari and Andricus quercustozae. Galls do not cause significant harm to oak trees. [5]

Andricus quercusstrobilanus, the lobed oak gall wasp, is a species [1] of gall wasp in the family Cynipidae, [2] found in North America.
