Diplolepididae is a family of small gall-inducing wasps. Until recently it was included as a tribe in the gall wasp family (Cynipidae) but was established as a separate family based on biological, genetic, and morphological features. It contains two subfamilies: Diplolepidinae and Pediaspidinae.
Diplolepidinae includes about 60 species in two genera (Diplolepis and Liebelia), all of which induce galls on roses in which the larvae live and feed.[1][2]
Pediaspidinae is composed of two monotypic genera: Himalocynips and Pediaspis. The biology of this subfamily is poorly known, though Pediaspis aceris is known to induces galls on a species of maple.
