CUESTA-PORTA, Victor; MELIKA, George  e  PUJADE-VILLAR, Juli. What is Femuros (Cynipidae: Cynipini)?. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2025, vol.96, e965584.  Epub 11-Nov-2025. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ib.20078706e.2025.96.5584.

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.
