REMARKS
These specimens are more robust than typical
P. cardiguensis
, but we have not found any significant morphological differences and therefore we consider them conspecific with
P. cardiguensis
even though the galls are located in a different place and on a different host (on thin branches of
Q. suber
rather than on catkins of
Q. ilex
) than those of typical
P. cardiguensis
.
