Callirhytis serricornis

Experimental rearings and field observations have shown that the cynipid wasp Dryocosmus grumatus Weld is actually the alternating, agamic generation of Callirhytis serricornis (Kinsey). Since Callirhytis serricornis was described in 1922, the name has priority over Dryocosmus grumatus, described in 1952.
