Topic: Ophelimus

Chris,

Could the Genus Ophelimus please be added to the Dictionary and the corresponding English name of Eucalyptus Gall Wasp ??

Sadly it seems the actual species causing the galls has not as yet been determined but having the Genus would at least allow the records to go in in a basic form.  See here:  https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=496.

Cheers,
Steve
