Feron albicomus (Weld, 1952), comb. nov.

Gall (Fig. 12). The asexual monolocular, round, bristly pubescent galls are mostly on the underside and, sometimes, the dorsal surface of leaves. Galls are covered with short, stellate white hairs. Galls occur singly or in scattered groups along the edges of the leaves or near the midrib. Galls are 4 mm high and wide (Russo 2006, 2021; Weld 1952b, 1957).

Biology. The asexual generation is only known, which induces galls on Q. garryana (section Quercus, subsection Dumosae), the gall matures by October; adults emerge in April.

Distribution. USA: north California (Russo 2006, 2021; authors), Oregon (Burks 1979).
