Striatoandricus is a genus of Neotropical gall wasps (Cynipidae). [1] There are six described species, four of which were formerly included in Andricus . [1] [2] The genus is morphologically similar to Andricus but are not closely related phylogenetically. [1] The genus is named after the striations on the metasomal segments and its superficial resemblance to Andricus. [1]
All species induce galls on oaks in which their larvae live and feed. [1]
Recognized species include: [3] [1] [4]
