Diastrophini is a tribe of gall wasps in the subfamily Cynipinae.[2] It was established in 2015 by Fredrik Ronquist et al.[3] Species in this tribe are associated with host plants in the rose family.[4]

Genera

The following genera are generally accepted within Diastrophini:[5]

The genera Diastrophus and Xestophanes are gall-inducers, while the genera Perclistus and Synophromorpha are inquillines, making use of galls left behind by other wasps.[4] Xestophanes induces galls on Potentilla, while Synophromorpha inquilines in Diastrophus galls on Rubus bushes.[2]

Diastrophini genera are distributed throughout the holarctic realm, with some species transgressing into the neotropical.[4]
