Andricus protuberans Pujade-Villar & Ferrer-Suay IS A SEXUAL FORM (HYM., CYNIPIDAE, CYNIPINI)

Abstract

We describe and illustrate the morphological characters of the male of Andricus protuberans Pujade-Villar & Ferrer-Suay, 2015 (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae), an oak gall wasp species considered an asexual generation in the original description. The reasons for this mistake are discussed, and the variability of this species in the metasomal segments is mentioned.
