A new genus of oak gallwasp, Melikaiella Pujade-Villar n. gen. is described, with four new species: M. amphibolensis Pujade-Villar n. sp., M. bicolor Pujade-Villar n. sp., M. reticulata Pujade-Villar n. sp. from Mexico and M. ostensackeni Pujade-Villar n. sp. from USA. Callirhytis sonorae Weld from Mexico, C. corrugis Bassett, C. flora Weld, C. fructicola Ashmead, C. fructuosa Weld, C. lupana Weld, C. tumifica (Osten-Sacken) and Cynips papula Bassett from USA, are transferred to Melikaiella. Callirhytis petrosa Weld is a new synonymy of Melikaiella corrugis n. comb. Cynips quercusmodesta (O. Sacken) has an uncertain status and it is considered here as a nomina dubia. Synonymy of Cynips papula and Cynips quercusmodesta is rejected. Data on biology and distribution of the new genus is commented. The diagnostic characters are illustrated. The variability of C. flora sexual and asexual forms is discussed. A key to twelve species of Melikaiella is given.
