The wing membranes are colourless, but the spinule distribution varies greatly. The female genital segment is relatively smooth in outline. Antennae are dark in all except the first three segments. Common and widespread on oak across the UK, in which the nymphs form small galls in July-Spetember, resting in shallow pits on the leaf undersides. Adults overwinter on conifers.
