Genera

Diplolepididae is a family of small gall-inducing wasps. Until recently these wasps were included in the gall wasp family (Cynipidae) but were moved to their own family based on genetic and morphological features. [1] [2] It contains two subfamilies: Diplolepidinae and Pediaspidinae. [2]

Diplolepidinae includes about 60 species in two genera (Diplolepis and Liebelia ), all of which induce galls on roses in which the larvae live and feed. [2] [3] [4] This subfamily was formerly included in Cynipidae as the tribe Diplolepidini. [2]

Pediaspidinae is composed of two monotypic genera: Himalocynips and Pediaspis . [2] The biology of this subfamily is poorly known, though Pediaspis aceris induces galls on a species of maple. [2] This subfamily was formerly included in Cynipidae as the tribe Pediaspini. [2]
