Druon Kinsey, 1937 , stat. rev.

Type species: Druon protagion Kinsey, 1937 .

Diagnosis. Asexual and sexual females known; the malar space with striae radiating from clypeus and reaching eye, malar sulcus absent; gena broadened or not behind the eye ( Fig. 1 ); toruli usually located above mid height of head; antenna always with 11–12 flagellomeres; mesoscutum reticulate, notaulus complete or anteriorly incomplete, mesopleuron entirely striate or striato-reticulate ( Figs. 6 , 26 ); transscutal articulation present; lateral propodeal carinae bent outwards in mid-height or posterior 1/3 ( Fig. 29 ), in some cases lateral carinae inconspicuous or absent; prominent part of the ventral spine of the hypopygium variable, around 2.3–5.1× as long as broad in ventral view. On the basis of these characters, Druon is similar to some sexual and asexual Andricus species. Asexual Andricus females differ from Druon either by presenting a densely pubescent metasoma, by differences in surface sculpturing (punctures on head and/or mesoscutum and sometimes on mesopleuron), or by the subparallel lateral propodeal carinae. Sexual forms of Andricus differ from Druon by not having all the characters mentioned above; in those Andricus species the mesoscutum is rugose or partially granulate, mesopleuron (at least the speculum) smooth, and/or the prominent part of the ventral spine of the hypopygium is longer; in addition, some sexual and asexual females of Andricus have the antenna with 13 flagellomeres. The males from the two Druon species with known sexual forms have 14 flagellomeres, incomplete propodeal carinae ( Fig. 97 ), and the second metasomal tergum in the form of a long narrow petiole ( Fig. 98 ). In contrast, in male Andricus the antenna has 12–13 flagellomeres, propodeal carinae are complete and the metasoma is without a petiole. Another important character that differentiates Druon from the genus Andricus is the shape and structure of the galls. The asexual galls of Druon are always woolly aggregations on leaves (and in one species very rarely on twigs). Only a few sexual forms of Andricus , such as the Western Palearctic A. quercusramuli ( Linnaeus, 1761) , induce similar woolly aggregated galls but they are on catkins. Moreover, only sexual generation Andricus make such galls and the females differ from the new genus by their mesopleuron, which is uniformly and very delicately transversally striate, almost smooth and by the mesoscutum which is not reticulate; in Druon the mesopleuron is completely sculptured and the mesoscutum reticulated.
