Druon pattoni is a species of gall wasp in the family Cynipidae, found in the United States. It forms galls on Quercus chapmanii and Quercus stellata , [1] as well as tentatively on Quercus margarettae and Quercus sinuata var. breviloba. [2] Only the asexual generation is known, which develop in leaf galls that mature in October to November, after which the adults begin to emerge. [1]
