Andricus attractans Kinsey, 1922 . in: Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. His. , vol. 46 p. 281. Callirhytis uvellae Weld, 1944 . in: Proc. U. A. Nat. Mus. , vol. 95 p. 23 [Syn. in Dailey, 1969: 132 ]. Dryocosmus attractans (Kinsey) : Weld, 1951: 644 . Callirhytis attractans (Kinsey) : Dailey, 1969: 132 The molecular results placed one additional species, Callirhytis attractans (Kinsey 1922) , within the same clade as species from Kokkocynips with 100% posterior probability support ( Fig. 1 ). This is an interesting placement, as this species is known only from its sexual form, unlike other species in the genus. Accordingly, we transfer this species to Kokkocynips although we have not yet been able to study the type material. In the near future we hope to have the opportunity to re-describe this species. Callirhytis uvellae Weld was synonymized with Dryocosmus attractans (Kinsey) by Dailey (1969) but Burks (1979) did not mention this synonymy, which we consider to be a mistake. The galls ( Fig. 11G ) are unilocular, about 2 mm in diameter and develop gregariously in spring on buds ( Dailey 1969 ). The host oaks are of all the section Lobatae present in California , Q. agrifolia , Q. kelloggii and Q. wislizeni .
