Acraspis guadaloupensis (also Paracraspis guadaloupensis) is a relatively uncommon species of cynipid wasp that produces galls on intermediate oaks.[1] The intermediate oak disc wasp was first described in 1911 and has been moved between genera more than once.[2] Distribution is limited to California in North America.[3] The flattened galls appear on leaves of Quercus chrysolepis, the canyon live oak (or maul oak).[4]
