Antron tomkursari Melika, Nicholls & Stone, sp. nov.

Diagnosis. Molecular data cluster this species with A. acraspiformis (Weld, 1926), A. plumbeum (Weld, 1926) and A. quercusnubila (Bassett, 1881), all three of which occur in the US southwest and induce leaf galls in their asexual generations.

Gall. (Fig. 288). Small, round, dehiscent and unilocular leaf gall, on the underside of the leaf, to 4 mm in diameter, pale green with widely scattered pink spots. The inner larval chamber is surrounded by solid parenchyma tissue and not suspended on fine filaments.

Biology. Only an asexual generation is known, which induces leaf galls on Q. arizonica. Galls mature in April- May, adults emerge soon afterwards.

Distribution. USA, Arizona: Strawberry (on Mogollon Rim), Chiricahua Mountains
