Amphibolips arbensis Méhes, 1953

Hymenoptera, Cynipidae

on Quercus

gall

described from Dalmatia on (Quercus “lanuginosa”) on the basis of a (single) gall. Because the rules of zoological nomenclature exclude species names that after 1931 were based exclusively on “the work of an animal”, the name is technically unavailable. Moreover, Amphibolips is a Nearctic genus, making the species dubious anyway.
